The Pittsburgh Steelers have kicked the tires on some former players in the past, like with Terrell Edmunds, Cam Sutton, Plaxico Burress, and others, so why not do it again? DT Javon Hargrave departed in free agency after his rookie contract was up in 2020. After four productive years with the Philadelphia Eagles, he spent the last two years with the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have now designated him as a post-June 1 designation and he will be a free agent in March, per David Lombardi on X.
“It gives him an opportunity to see what his market is, and that may include us,” said 49ers GM John Lynch.
