Arik Armstead Signs Three-Year Deal with Jacksonville Jaguars

The former 49ers defensive lineman joins the Jaguars following his release, aiming to bolster Jacksonville's defense.

Arik Armstead, former San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman, has agreed to a three-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars worth up to $51 million.
Armstead's move to Jacksonville comes after he was released by the 49ers, following his refusal to accept a pay cut.
The Jaguars aim to bolster their defense with Armstead's addition, as they seek improvement after finishing 17th in points allowed and 22nd in yards allowed last season.
Armstead, who has registered 33.5 career sacks and was a key player for the 49ers, is expected to significantly contribute to the Jaguars' defensive line.
The deal reunites Armstead with Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke, who drafted him in the first round of the 2015 NFL draft when Baalke was with the 49ers.
