NFC Contract Details: McDuffie, Eagles, Oweh, Lloyd, Etienne, Giants, Packers, 49ers, Bucs
Here are the latest details from contracts agreed to around the NFC:
- Trent McDuffie, CB (Rams). Four years, $124MM. Although McDuffie secured $100MM guaranteed, $50MM is locked in at signing. But a rolling guarantee structure is in place. If on the Rams’ roster by Day 5 of the 2027 league year, McDuffie will see his 2028 base salary ($26.32MM) shift to a full guarantee, according to OverTheCap. On Day 5 of the 2028 league year, the All-Pro cornerback will see $23MM of his $29.82MM 2029 base salary become guaranteed. A $5MM roster bonus is due on Day 5 of the 2029 league year.
- Odafe Oweh, DE (Commanders). Four years, $96MM. Oweh will receive $50.6MM guaranteed at signing, SI.com’s Albert Breer tweets. An additional $17.4MM is guaranteed for injury. A $1MM roster bonus is due by April 1, 2029, according to Spotrac.
- Jordan Davis, DT (Eagles). Three years, $78MM. Of Davis’ reported $65MM guarantee, OverTheCap indicates $38.94MM is the at-signing number. If Davis is on the Eagles’ roster by Day 3 of the 2027 league year, his 2028 salary and a $24.2MM option bonus become guaranteed.
- Laremy Tunsil, LT (Commanders). Two years, $60.2MM. Tunsil secured $52.66MM guaranteed at signing on his third career extension, KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson tweets. The Pro Bowl left tackle’s 2026 and ’27 compensation is fully guaranteed. An additional $8.85MM in 2028 compensation is guaranteed for injury.
- Travis Etienne, RB (Saints). Four years, $47MM. Etienne landed $24MM fully guaranteed, ESPN.com’s Katherine Terrell tweets. That is tied for fifth among running backs. The ex-Jaguar secured a $4MM injury guarantee on his $12MM 2028 base salary, Terrell adds.
- Devin Lloyd, LB (Panthers). Three years, $42MM. The initial reports of $45MM covered the deal’s max value, though the reported $25MM guarantee is a full guarantee (per Wilson). This includes an $8.54MM guarantee of Lloyd’s $11.25MM 2027 base salary.
- Isaiah Likely, TE (Giants). Three years, $40MM. Likely landed $20.5MM guaranteed, The Athletic’s Dan Duggan tweets. If the Giants move on after 2027, they would save $12MM.
- Chig Okonkwo, TE (Commanders). Three years, $27MM. The ex-Titan pass catcher scored $17.6MM fully guaranteed, Wilson tweets. The guarantee covers Okonkwo’s 2026 and ’27 compensation.
- Leo Chenal, LB (Commanders). Three years, $24.75MM. Chenal secured $12.4MM guaranteed, ESPN.com’s John Keim tweets.
- Javon Hargrave, DT (Packers). Two years, $23MM. Green Bay is giving Hargrave $10.5MM guaranteed at signing. ESPN.com’s Rob Demovsky confirms, per usual with the Packers, the only guarantee comes via a signing bonus. A $3MM roster bonus is due next March.
- Alex Anzalone, LB (Buccaneers). Two years, $17MM. Anzalone’s contract includes $12MM guaranteed at signing, Wilson tweets.
- Eddy Pineiro, K (49ers). Four years, $17MM. The deal includes $8MM guaranteed at signing, with ESPN.com’s Nick Wagoner indicating $10MM is guaranteed in total. Pineiro’s first two years are fully guaranteed; his 2028 base salary ($1.7MM) becomes guaranteed on April 1, 2027, Wagoner adds.
- Tyler Higbee, TE (Rams). Two years, $6MM. The initial $8MM number represents the deal’s max value, with Wilson adding $3.4MM of Higbee’s fourth contract is guaranteed.
Bengals Pursued John Franklin-Myers, Osa Odighizuwa Before Jonathan Allen Signing
The Bengals have not had a game-changing defensive tackle since Geno Atkins‘ retirement in 2020, a problem they set out to solve this offseason. That made them willing to give Jonathan Allen a two-year, $26MM contract despite his lack of high-end production in the the last two seasons.
The level of interest Allen received from other teams is unknown, but it is worth noting that he was still owed $8MM in guaranteed salary from his last deal in Minnesota. That would have allowed another club to sign him for a veteran minimum contract with the Vikings still paying out those guarantees this year, but Cincinnati came in with a much bigger offer.
Their determination to land the two-time Pro Bowler came after failed pursuits of John Franklin-Myers and Osa Odighizuwa, per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, with the former signing in Tennessee and the latter heading from Dallas to San Francisco for the Cowboys’ third-round pick.
The Titans’ offer to Franklin-Myers of a three-year, $63MM (and a reunion with Robert Saleh) was hard to beat, especially given a strong guarantee structure, the likes of which the Bengals have historically been hesitant to match.
Instead, Cincinnati pivoted to Odighizuwa, who has been a consistent but not dominant interior disruptor in his career. His deal had three years and $57.75MM remaining (with no guarantees), making him a cheaper proposition than Franklin-Myers who could easily be moved again if the acquisition did not pan out. But it would also require a draft pick to get him – as it turned out, a third-rounder – and the Bengals were not willing to outbid the 49ers for Odighizuwa’s services. San Francisco offered a third-round pick (No. 92 overall) to Dallas, an offer that Cincinnati could have easily bested with their own third-rounder at No. 72 overall.
The Bengals declined to do so and swooped in to sign Allen shortly after he was released by the Vikings at the start of the new league year. Dehner notes that Cincinnati did not look into Javon Hargrave, who left Minnesota at the same time, instead focusing in on Allen as the solution to their lack of interior disruption in the defensive trenches.
Packers To Sign DL Javon Hargrave
Another offseason, another eight-figure-per-year Javon Hargrave contract. Released today by the Vikings, Hargrave will set up shop with one of Minnesota’s rivals.
The Packers will bring in the veteran interior defensive lineman, ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweets. Hargrave agreed to a two-year deal worth $23MM. This marks the third time in four offseasons the well-traveled D-lineman has inked a deal averaging more than $10MM per year. That is rather impressive considering Hargrave has now been cut twice in two years. This will reunite Hargrave and Jonathan Gannon, the Eagles’ defensive coordinator from 2021-22.
Hargrave, 33, may have been a 49ers and Vikings cap casualty but still carries respect around the league (as evidenced by this quick agreement). The Packers traded Kenny Clark to the Cowboys in the Micah Parsons blockbuster last year; they will now add another 30-something veteran to complement Devonte Wyatt up front.
After helping the Eagles make a run at the 1984 Bears’ single-season sack record, Hargrave commanded a four-year, $84MM 49ers deal as a 2023 free agent. Starting for San Francisco’s Super Bowl LVIII team, the former third-round pick suffered a pectoral injury early in the 2024 season. The 49ers cut him soon after, leading to a two-year Vikings pact worth $30MM. Hargrave started 15 games last season but joined fellow Minnesota 2025 FA addition Jonathan Allen in being released today.
Enjoying a strong sack stretch from 2021-23, Hargrave peaked with 11 in 2022 to help the Eagles to Super Bowl LVII. Playing in Super Bowls in back-to-back years, Hargrave also produced 7.5 sacks and a career-high 18 QB hits under Gannon in 2021. The Steelers draftee earned a Pro Bowl nod as a 49er in 2023. The interior rusher has toggled between 3-4 and 4-3 schemes during his career, as such differences have mattered less and less thanks to the proliferation of nickel and dime packages.
One season remains on Wyatt’s rookie contract; the Packers picked up his fifth-year option and declined Quay Walker‘s last year (Walker is now a Raider). Trading Clark just before the season, the team used Karl Brooks as a seven-game starter in 2025. As Gannon puts his stamp on Green Bay’s defense, the ex-Cardinals HC will turn to one of his former charges to help do so.
Vikings Release DLs Javon Hargrave, Jonathan Allen
Both the veteran defensive linemen the Vikings gave eight-figure-per-year contracts to in 2025 are now out. After releasing Jonathan Allen, Minnesota is now cutting Javon Hargrave.
Dangled in trades recently, Hargrave (via ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter) has been informed he will be released. The move will save the Vikings more than $10MM in cap space while bringing nearly the same amount in dead money. The rumored Allen release is now official as well.
The dead cap amount stems from signing bonus proration and a $4MM guarantee on Hargrave’s 2026 salary. Minnesota gave the former Steelers, Eagles and 49ers D-lineman a two-year, $30MM contract in 2025. This is quite the overhaul for the Vikings’ D-line over the past year. After free agency in 2025, they rostered Hargrave, Allen and Harrison Phillips. With Phillips traded to the Jets last August, all three are now gone.
Minnesota has not made a move to add a D-linemen, but it can be assumed some are in the works. Hargrave, 33, started 15 games last season; Allen, 31, started 17. Hargrave bounced back after an injury-shortened 2024 in San Francisco, but this is the second straight year he has been released. The 49ers designated Hargrave as a post-June 1 cut last year; it is not known if the Vikings are making the same move.
A standard Allen release would bring more than $17MM in dead money, and NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero indicates a post-June 1 designation will indeed be used. This designation saves $11.2MM this year while moving more than $12MM in dead cap on to the Vikings’ payroll. Minnesota is designating Harrison Smith as a post-June release (for procedural purposes); teams are only allotted two each year.
This also marks Allen’s second straight year being released. The Commanders cut their former first-round D-tackle after eight seasons, and he generated a promising market as a street free agent. The Vikings gave him a three-year, $51MM deal that came with $23.26MM fully guaranteed. That contract has come back to bite the team, one that fired GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah weeks into the offseason. Allen was to see $8MM of his $16.75MM 2026 salary guaranteed. As Adam La Rose’s Vikings Offseason Outlook reminded, Allen’s $23.87MM was the highest figure on Minnesota’s cap sheet.
Allen, 31, and Hargrave each registered 3.5 sacks last season. Both players recovered from 2024 injuries on time; Allen fared better as a pressure artist, recording 11 QB hits to Hargrave’s six. Both players being cut in back-to-back years stands to significantly reduce their earning potential in 2026.
Vikings To Release RB Aaron Jones, DT Javon Hargrave Barring Trade
If the Vikings are unable to trade running back Aaron Jones or defensive tackle Javon Hargrave by the start of the 2026 league year on March 11, they will release those players, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. Jones’ release would generate $7.75MM of cap space, and cutting Hargrave would free up an additional $10.9MM.
We heard last week that Minnesota is shopping Hargrave in the hopes of shedding his salary and earning some form of draft compensation. The 33-year-old signed a two-year, $30MM contract last March, and $4MM of his $14.2MM base salary for 2026 is guaranteed. While a release would generate notable cap savings, it would also create $10.5MM of dead money, so it is easy to see why the Vikes prefer a trade.
In his first (and apparently only) season in Minnesota, Hargrave started 15 games and registered 3.5 sacks, four tackles for loss, and a forced fumble. Since the rest of his 2026 salary does not lock in until September, the club does have some time to work out a deal, but it sounds as if it wants to act quickly here. After all, as of the time of this writing, the Vikes are roughly $45.5MM over the cap, per OverTheCap.com.
Jones, 31, just finished his second Vikings campaign. After enjoying perfect attendance in 2024, the longtime Packer played in just 12 games in 2025 due to a hamstring injury, and his performance dipped across the board. He ended the year with 132 carries for 548 yards and two touchdowns, adding 28 catches for 199 yards and a score. His 4.2 yards-per-carry rate was the lowest of his career.
Still, teams with an RB need will surely be interested in Jones’ services, particularly since he has a track record of significant contributions on the ground and through the air (though it is unclear whether a trade market will form). After parting ways with Jones, the only running back under Vikings control for 2026 will be Jordan Mason.
ESPN’s Kevin Seifert views defensive tackle Jonathan Allen and center Ryan Kelly as other potential cap casualties.
Vikings Discussing Javon Hargrave Trade
The Combine serves a function for veteran players as well, with trade talks regularly commencing at the annual scouting event. One of the pieces available this year comes out of Minnesota.
The Vikings are shopping Javon Hargrave, veteran insider Jordan Schultz tweets, indicating the NFC North team has engaged in trade talks with the experienced defensive tackle. Minnesota signed Hargrave to a three-year, $30MM deal following his 2025 49ers release. That contract includes a partial guarantee for 2026.
Hargrave, who turned 33 earlier this month, is due $4MM guaranteed on his $14.2MM base salary. If the Vikings are unable to trade the 11th-year defender, The Athletic’s Alec Lewis notes lists him as an obvious cut candidate. If the Vikings release Hargrave, they will save nearly $11MM but will take on $10.5MM in dead money. A trade would create nearly $15MM in cap space, though the Vikes may need to pay down some of the D-tackle’s salary to facilitate a trade.
After stops with the Steelers, Eagles and 49ers, Hargrave started 15 games for the Vikings last season. Minnesota added proven vets on its D-line, also signing Jonathan Allen after his Commanders release. Hargrave, who missed 14 games in 2024, registered 3.5 sacks, four tackles for loss and a forced fumble last season. Pro Football Focus graded Hargrave fairly well, slotting him 36th overall among interior D-linemen.
It appears the Vikings are hoping that healthy Hargrave season will boost his trade value and allow for cap savings to emerge without a release. No guarantee trigger dates are in place for Hargrave this offseason; the rest of his 2026 salary will not lock until just before Week 1, giving the Vikings some time.
They would obviously need to move on soon if they want to use any savings toward free agency. A post-June 1 designation would divide Hargrave’s dead cap hit over two years, but the Vikes could not use those savings until June. Minnesota is projected to land $43MM-plus over the 2026 salary cap, giving the team considerable work to reach cap compliance by the start of the league year (March 11).
Minnesota has been active on its D-line over the past year, adding Allen and Hargrave and trading Harrison Phillips. The team received promising work from UDFA Jalen Redmond, who can be retained via ERFA tender next month. Allen’s three-year, $51MM deal includes an $8MM guarantee for 2026, offering the former first-rounder better protection (though, PFF ranked Allen 84th among interior D-linemen last season) Minnesota has recent Day 3 draftees Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins (2025 fifth round) and Levi Drake Rodriguez (2024 seventh) rostered at the position as well.
J.J. McCarthy Addresses Recovery From Meniscus Procedures
J.J. McCarthy has seen the Vikings present him with a golden opportunity. The team passed on franchise-tagging Sam Darnold and then let the bounce-back starter walk, and it did not outbid the Colts for Daniel Jones.
The Vikings have since effectively stiff-armed Aaron Rodgers, who had informed the team it stood atop his destination list. Rodgers may be down to Steelers or retirement, though he has continued to keep the AFC North team at arm’s length. Minnesota, however, added a clear backup option during the draft by acquiring Sam Howell from the Seahawks. Howell’s full 2023 season as a Commanders starter notwithstanding, McCarthy’s path to a 2025 starting job remains clear.
As this chance awaits, McCarthy said he is fully recovered from the two meniscus procedures that defined his rookie year. Kevin O’Connell said (via ESPN.com’s Kevin Seifert) the second-year quarterback will have no restrictions during the Vikings’ offseason program. While pressure will await as McCarthy prepares to take the reins for a team that went 14-3 last season, the former national championship-winning passer expects to be at the controls in Week 1.
“I know I’m ready to start,” McCarthy said (via Seifert), “because of all the work I’ve put in and just the confidence in my skills and abilities and just being able to do my job. And to simplify things to the best of my ability every single day. I have a tremendous coaching staff, a tremendous group of guys around me that I can lean on and they can lean on me.”
Although McCarthy’s weight dropped into the 180s during his recovery, the Michigan product said he is back up to his 215 playing weight. This post-surgery road, though, included a November hiccup; swelling led to a PRP injection. Since that point, McCarthy has ramped up and will be ready to throw once the Vikings begin OTAs this month.
McCarthy, 22, was poised to challenge Darnold for Minnesota’s starting job at some point last year. While Darnold was to be the Vikes’ Week 1 starter, McCarthy was on track to put that status in question. Though, the way Darnold performed, a full-season redshirt for the rookie would have certainly been in the equation had McCarthy stayed healthy. Darnold signed a three-year, $100.5MM Seahawks deal, removing a bridge from the Vikings’ 2025 QB blueprint.
In addition to McCarthy, O’Connell said Christian Darrisaw has not endured any setbacks during rehab from ACL and MCL tears. With that injury occurring in late October, Darrisaw returning by Week 1 will be in play. The Vikings let fill-in Cam Robinson defect to the Texans in free agency. Cornerback Mekhi Blackmon, who suffered an ACL tear in July, will be expected to return to football activities by spring’s end, O’Connell added (via the Minneapolis Star Tribune’s Ben Goessling). O’Connell added Javon Hargrave and Will Fries, free agents coming off season ending injuries (pectoral tear, broken leg), will likely be limited to start the offseason program.
Elsewhere on the Vikings’ roster, Isaiah Rodgers is set to compete for a starting job. The team re-signed Byron Murphy hours after it added Rodgers, but O’Connell confirmed (via Seifert) DC Brian Flores targeted the recent Eagles contributor for his defense. Flores also pushed for Blake Cashman and for an Andrew Van Ginkel reunion. Those additions helped Minnesota form a top-five defense, and they could help give the veteran coach some room to give Rodgers a long look as a starter.
A nine-game Colts starter in 2022, Rodgers has started three games since his 2023 gambling suspension. Veteran Jeff Okudah, given a one-year deal worth $2.35MM, is aboard as potential insurance. Rodgers signed a two-year, $11MM contract that came with nearly $8MM guaranteed at signing.
Contract Details: Fries, Hargrave, Colts, Patriots, Seahawks, Dolphins, Bengals, Bills
Here are the latest details from contracts agreed to during free agency:
- Will Fries, G (Vikings). Five years, $87.72MM. Unlike other splashy Minnesota deals this week, Fries’ initial numbers were close to the true value. Fries will see $34MM guaranteed at signing. If he is on the Vikings’ roster by Day 3 of the 2027 league year, another $10MM becomes guaranteed, per OverTheCap. Up to $6MM in incentives are also included in this deal.
- Camryn Bynum, S (Colts). Four years, $60MM. The ex-Viking will see $26MM at signing, per OverTheCap, while KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson adds $32MM is guaranteed in total. The remainder of that guarantee impacts Bynum’s 2026 and ’27 base salaries. Of Bynum’s 2026 salary ($10MM), $6MM is fully guaranteed. Of Bynum’s 2027 base ($13.47MM), $4MM is already guaranteed for injury. That $4MM will shift to a full guarantee on Day 5 of the league year, giving Bynum some advanced protection.
- Carlton Davis, CB (Patriots). Three years, $54MM. This checks in $6MM south of the initial report, but Wilson notes Davis will still see $34.5MM at signing. Davis’ 2025 and 2026 base salaries are fully guaranteed, with a $15MM 2027 base nonguaranteed.
- Javon Hargrave, DL (Vikings). Two years, $30MM. Minnesota is guaranteeing Hargrave $19MM at signing, while Wilson adds $4MM of the veteran DT’s $14.2MM 2026 base salary is already locked in. Hargrave’s full guarantee on a two-year deal nearly matches Jonathan Allen‘s ($23.26MM) on a three-year pact.
- Ernest Jones, LB (Seahawks). Three years, $28.5MM. Jones will receive $10MM at signing and $15MM guaranteed in total. Of Jones’ $7.15MM 2026 base salary, Wilson notes $5MM is guaranteed for injury; that $5MM will shift to a full guarantee on Day 5 of the 2026 league year.
- Mike Gesicki, TE (Bengals). Three years, $25.5MM. A $6.5MM signing bonus represents the full guarantee, as per usual for the Bengals’ non-quarterback deals (though, Cincinnati’s receivers may have something to say about this policy soon). A $2MM roster bonus is due on Day 5 of the 2026 league year, Wilson tweets.
- James Daniels, G (Dolphins). Three years, $24MM. $7.26MM is fully guaranteed, per OverTheCap. The Dolphins guaranteed $3.48MM of Daniels’ $6.49MM 2026 base salary for injury at signing, per Wilson; that $3.48MM shifts to a full guarantee on Day 3 of the 2026 league year.
- Jarran Reed, DL (Seahawks). Three years, $22MM. Seattle guaranteed Reed $8MM at signing, per OverTheCap. After a fully guaranteed 2025 base salary, $2MM of Reed’s $5.49MM 2026 base will shift from an injury guarantee to a full guarantee on Day 5 of the 2026 league year, Wilson tweets.
- Michael Hoecht, DE (Bills). Three years, $21MM. Buffalo is guaranteeing Hoecht $13.43MM at signing. Both Hoecht’s 2025 and ’26 base salaries are fully guaranteed, Wilson adds. His $5.74MM 2027 paragraph 5 number is nonguaranteed.
Vikings Plan To Sign DT Javon Hargrave
Javon Hargrave is set to be released by the 49ers shortly after the new league year begins. Once that takes place, he will become a free agent; the Pro Bowl defensive tackle already has his next destination lined up, though.
Hargrave has agreed to a contract with the Vikings, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Minnesota already has a deal in place with Jonathan Allen, but the team’s spending spree at the line of scrimmage is set to continue. The Vikings’ efforts to shore up their offensive line has included agreements with former Colts Ryan Kelly and Will Fries.
The 49ers came to regret their Hargrave addition, though San Francisco has not discriminated too much regarding the players it has moved on from this offseason. A host of Super Bowl LVIII starters (or would-be starters, in Talanoa Hufanga‘s case) are gone, with Hargrave’s exit known earlier than the other departures. The 49ers had made it known early this offseason they were designating Hargrave as a post-June 1 cut. After being tied to a $21MM-per-year deal, the former Steelers and Eagles starter is joining Allen up front in Minnesota.
Turning 32 in February, Hargrave is two years older than Allen. He is also coming off a season mostly nullified by injury. He suffered a partially torn triceps in September and was early to the 49ers’ injury avalanche last year. In 2023, Hargrave had totaled seven sacks, eight tackles for loss and 14 QB hits to help the 49ers to the Super Bowl. Hargrave ended up facing the Chiefs to decide consecutive seasons, though his teams came up short on each occasion.
The 49ers bet big on Hargrave, complementing Brock Purdy‘s rookie contract, after he posted an 11-sack year for the Eagles in 2022. One of four Philly double-digit sackers on a team that came within two sacks (70) of breaking the 1984 Bears’ single-season record, Hargrave added postseason sacks in 2022 and ’23. Prior to that Eagles sack binge, Hargrave — who had formerly worked as a third wheel alongside Cameron Heyward and Stephon Tuitt in Pittsburgh — made his first Pro Bowl with a 7.5-sack, 18-hit 2021.
Phillips is going into his age-29 season; suddenly, he will the 20-something representative up front for the Vikings, who entered free agency with Jonathan Bullard and Jerry Tillery unsigned. A Vikings team that ranked second against the run last season but did not see much interior pressure — no Minnesota D-lineman eclipsed two sacks in 2024 — as bulked in the latter area Tuesday morning.

49ers Retaining WR Deebo Samuel; Plan To Release DT Javon Hargrave
In recent months, the 49ers have made adjustments to the contracts for both wide receiver Deebo Samuel and defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner. Both contracts have notable potential outs following the 2024 NFL season, and it appears that San Francisco intends to act on one of those outs. According to general manager John Lynch, the 49ers plan to retain Samuel for the final year of his contract but will release Hargrave with a post-June 1 designation once the new league year starts in March. 
Samuel’s recent contract reconstruction resulted in a situation in which he would account for $31.55MM of dead money should he be cut or traded before June 1. A post-June 1 designation would reduce that dead money hit to $10.75MM and result in cap savings in 2025 of $5.21MM. If the team had not utilized the post-June 1 designation on Hargrave, his release would’ve resulted in $24.86MM of dead money, but with the designation, that number dips down to $7.38MM, resulting in $2.85MM of cap savings.
Samuel, who is turning 29 in a week, just concluded a disappointing, injury-plagued season. It continued a trend of what seems to be alternating years of health and production versus years of injuries and a lack of top-end production. Following the conclusion of his 2024 campaign, Samuel claimed he had “no questions at all” about his future in San Francisco.
Hargrave, 31, just finished an injury-plagued season himself, the first such season of his nine-year career. Following two Pro Bowl campaigns in the last three years, Hargrave only made an appearance in three games in 2024. Hargrave’s recent restructuring facilitated a smooth effecting of the potential out, knowing the strain his $47.86MM cap hit was set to put on the organization in 2026.
Lynch and the Niners made it sound as if they hope to potentially compete in Hargrave’s free agency, but Wagoner claims the reunion is an unlikely one unless Hargrave agrees to a significantly reduced contract. Look for the veteran defender to shop his talents around a bit before potentially committing to return with a pay cut.
