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.
