It’s quite possible that Javon Hargrave has already stepped on a football field for the final time as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Nobody knows this as well as he does, himself. The former third-round pick will see his rookie contract expire at the start of the new league year in March, at which point he will become an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career.
And at which point he will likely sign a high-value contract with another team, for multiple reasons. For one thing, the Steelers don’t have a lot of cap space, and their priority re-signing is Bud Dupree.
