On the same weekend that one Super Bowl team ensured that its best defensive linemen will stay put, the other Super Bowl team will be parting ways with a starting defensive lineman.
Via Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, the 49ers asked defensive tackle Arik Armstead to take a “significant (https://twitter.com/maiocconbcs/status/1767015955220349052?s=42&t=KO5aSnKLcALFsJ2PgJe89A)” reduction in his 2024 salary of $17.4 million. He declined. The 49ers will release him.
