The Green Bay Packers have added some serious firepower to the middle of their defensive line, signing veteran defensive tackle Javon Hargrave to a o a 2-year, $23 million deal. It’s a move that immediately upgrades the Packers’ interior pass rush while giving the defensive front a veteran presence.
Hargrave has been one of the NFL’s most disruptive interior defenders over the past several seasons. Known for his quick first step and ability to collapse the pocket, he brings the kind of interior pressure that defensive coordinators dream about. Even when he’s not getting home for sacks, Hargrave consistently forces quarterbacks off their spot — something the Packers have been searching for from the defensive tackle position.
