49ers reportedly plan to release DL Arik Armstead after he declined 'significant' pay cut

1. Arik Armstead is a good player and a quality person

I love having him in the defense. Unfortunately for him and the team, he's missed too many games to injury to warrant the kind of money he's making. The Niners have an aging core of quality players that's going to have to be rotated annually if they are to remain perennial play off contenders.
They've also asked Kyle Juszczyk to take a pay cut, which I'm pretty sure he will, because there's not many places he can play in his position and at age 33, I doubt any team would pay him anywhere close to what he made last year.
