John Lynch and the 49ers front office opened the legal tampering period with a bang after agreeing to a four-year, 84 million dollar deal with standout defensive lineman Javon Hargrave.
This was a home run signing for the 49ers, who added one of the top available free agents to a defense that finished as the number one unit in the league last season. This is the type of move that can thoroughly change the trajectory of a team, and the addition of Hargrave has effectively made the 49ers the clear-cut team to beat in the NFC for the foreseeable future.
