The 49ers restructured defensive tackle Javon Hargrave’s contract last month in a way that opened the door to releasing him out of the gate by cutting him after June 1 this offseason, and general manager John Lynch confirmed that’s the plan.
Hargrave signed a four-year deal with the team ahead of the 2023 season and made 19 starts in his first year with the club. However, he tore his triceps early this season, and reworking the contract will allow them to hold $7.375 million in dead cap space while freeing up $2.85 million in space.
Lynch said the move will allow Hargrave to gauge his market and could open the door to a comeback.
“We would be interested in having it? Of course,” Lynch said, via Matt Maiocco of NBCSpotsBayArea.com. “Is that something we agreed on and does it fit into our plans? We’ll see.”
Hargrave had 51 tackles and three sacks for the Niners in the regular season. He had 10 tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery in their run to Super Bowl LVIII.
