Packers Sign Hargrave, Reunite with Gannon

0:00On March 30th, the Green Bay Packers have stayed quiet in this 2026 NFL free agency, but they just made a splash by signing interior. Defensive lineman, Javon Hargrave, to a two-year, 23 million dollar deal. Hours after the Minnesota Vikings cut him loose, the 33-year-old joined up, bringing some veteran muscle to the line. This move upgrades their trenches over Colby Wooden, who got traded straight up to the Indianapolis Colt for linebackers that year Franklin. Hargrave steps in as a proven interior guy, even if he's passed his peak. Fans are buzzing about the reunion with New Packers' defensive coordinator, Jonathan Ganon, who coached Hargrave during his two best years with the Philadelphia Eagles. Back then, Hargrave hit career highs and tackles and sacks, even making the pro bowl and helping push Philly to the Super Bowl. Hargrave himself says Ganon's phone calls sealed the deal right after his release. He didn't need much convincing from his old coach and friend. He also digs the Packer's storied history at Lambo Field, calling it a perfect fit after stints with powerhouse teams like the Steelers, Eagles, and 49ers.

1:08Packer's fans are crossing fingers. Ganon can spark that old fire and Hargrave, who only notched three-and-a-half sacks last shoe with Minnesota, as they build for a stronger run game inside.
