The 49ers will save $18 million in cap room by cutting 30-year-old defensive lineman Arik Armstead, who was hampered by injuries the past two seasons.
The San Francisco 49ers are planning to cut their longest-tenured player by releasing defensive tackle Arik Armstead in a salary cap move, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press. Armstead will be released and hit the open market after the start of the new league year on Wednesday, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Sunday night because the team had not announced the move.
The 30-year-old Armstead was hampered by injuries the past two seasons, playing only 21 regular-season games in that span because of injuries to his knee and foot. Armstead played through a torn meniscus in his right knee in the postseason and had surgery after the Super Bowl. The Niners already have two other high-priced D-linemen on the roster in defensive tackle Javon Hargrave and defensive end Nick Bosa, contributing to the decision to move on from Armstead.
