Armstead, 30, is a former first-round pick out of Oregon by the 49ers in the 2015 NFL Draft. He was in the final year of his four-year, $9.84 rookie contract when the 49ers elected to pick up Armstead’s fifth-year option for the 2019 season.
Armstead was in line to be an unrestricted free agent in 2020 for the first time in his NFL career when he signed a five-year, $85 million deal to return to the 49ers.
The team opted to release him ahead of free agency and he was designated as a post-June 1st cut in order to save them $18 million instead of $2.5 million from an outright release. He then signed a three-year, $51 million deal with the Jaguars back in March.
In 2023, Armstead appeared in 12 games for the 49ers and recorded 27 tackles and five sacks.
