Arrr, Arik Armstrong be takin' his talents to the Jaguars, much to the chagrin of the 49ers. Methinks the lad be havin' a bone to pick with his former crew. Aye, the seas be rough but the plunder be worth it!
In a recent episode of his "Third and Long" podcast, Arik Armstead expressed his discontent with the San Francisco 49ers, the team he had spent nine seasons with before signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars in free agency. Armstead felt "disrespected" by the 49ers, mentioning that they offered him a deal that he found unsatisfactory. Despite not disclosing the exact amount of the offer, Armstead made it clear that he was not pleased with the terms after his long tenure with the team.Ultimately, Armstead decided to join the Jaguars on a three-year contract worth $51 million. His production had declined in recent seasons due to injuries, but he now looks forward to a fresh start with the Jaguars, where he reunites with GM Trent Balke who drafted him in 2015. Meanwhile, the 49ers have added Leonard Floyd and Maliek Collins to their defensive line in free agency.Although Armstead’s departure may have left some fans disappointed, he is excited for the next chapter in his career with a new team and a familiar face in management.
