The 49ers are set to release defensive tackle Arik Armstead after he declined a significant pay cut from his scheduled $17.41 million salary for the upcoming 2024 NFL season, a source told NBC Sports Bay Area on Sunday night.
If the 49ers absorb all of the cap hit this year, Armstead's salary would be completely wiped off the team's books next year. That is important because the 49ers will need to create more cap space for next year, when the team will be allowed to give quarterback Brock Purdy a lucrative contract extension.
