San Francisco 49ers to Release Veteran Defensive Lineman Arik Armstead

The San Francisco 49ers are set to release veteran defensive lineman Arik Armstead, freeing up cash and potentially saving $18 million against the cap. Despite a productive season, financial implications and a knee injury have led to the decision. Armstead aims to be ready for training camps in late July or August as he faces unrestricted free agency for the second time.
