Javon Hargrave named Packers' biggest bust candidate for 2026

Summary

Defensive lineman Javon Hargrave has been identified as the Green Bay Packers' biggest bust candidate for the 2026 NFL season. According to Bleacher Report's Moe Moton, concerns about Hargrave's age and recent performance contributed to this prediction. Hargrave, 33, has faced availability issues, missing 15 games over the last two seasons, and his impact has waned since a Pro Bowl selection in 2023. The Packers signed him to a two-year, $23 million contract, which Moton argues reflects an overvaluation considering Hargrave's decline.
