Vikings release defensive linemen Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave after last year's spending spree

The Minnesota Vikings have cleared salary cap space taken by their failed strategy for contending last season by releasing defensive linemen Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave
MARCH 11 • Associated Press
Slated to be released The Vikings are expected to release Allen in the coming days, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Allen inked a three-year, $51 million deal with the Vikings last offseason, but Minnesota is way over the salary cap and needs to make cost-cutting moves. In releasing Allen, Minnesota would clear $6.5 million in cap space but also retain more than $17.3 million in dead money. In his lone season with the Vikings, Allen started all 17 regular-season contests, recording a career-high 68 tackles (29 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery on 76 percent of the defensive snaps.

Impact Allen wasn't prolific but managed to stay healthy in his first campaign outside of Washington after he played in just eight regular-season games for the Commanders last year. The veteran defensive end's 68 stops tied a career-best regular-season mark, though his 3.5 sacks were his fewest over a full season since 2020. This was the first campaign of Allen's three-year contract, though it's not out of the question that the Vikings could opt to cut him in the offseason.

Notches seven tackles Christmas Day Allen posted seven tackles (three solo) during the Vikings' 23-10 win over the Lions on Thursday.
Impact Allen finished Thursday's game with the second-most tackles on the Vikings behind Blake Cashman (17). Allen has posted at least seven stops in back-to-back games and is up to 65 tackles (28 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery through 16 regular-season games.
DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Sacks Dart in Week 16 victory Allen posted eight tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Vikings' 16-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Impact Allen got to Jaxson Dart for a six-yard sack on the final play of the third quarter. It was Allen's first sack since Week 10 against the Ravens, and the 2017 first-rounder is up to 3.5 sacks through 15 regular-season games. He's also logged 58 combined tackles on the year, which puts him in striking distance of his career high that he set in 2019 as a member of the Commanders (68 tackles through 15 regular-season games). Allen will have two more opportunities to set a new career high in tackles, starting with Christmas Day against the Lions.

After going without a sack in each of his first five games, Allen now has 1.5 sacks over the past two weeks. His regular-season career high is 9.0 sacks, which he recorded in 2021 with Washington.
