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” reduction in his 2024 salary of $17.4 million. He declined. The 49ers will release him.
Armstead, a first-round pick in 2015, signed a five-year, $85 million contract in March 2020.
