I hope this is the end of that lazy "we can't afford to keep Armstead" narrative.

Just draft a real DE. AA ain't. AA had two sacks without Ford on the field, which approximates his 2.4 annual sack total in the four years that weren't a contract year. AA played for sacks in his contract year at the expense of his team forfeiting his contain responsibilities, especially in the Super Bowl 4th quarter. OK, I'm crazy, be we just might not have given up 21 points in the 4th quarter if he'd have honored his responsibilities, and we might well have 6 in the case. History says to pay a guy for his contract year stats when they are five times his other year's stats is nothing short of Stupid. Yeah, we want to keep him, hopefully to increase his trade value, and get sorely needed draft picks for him.

AA does a ton for this defense. His versatile and I'm glad we're trying to keep the band together.

I don't think you're crazy. In Armsteads biggest game of his life he played like s**t. His effort was borderline pathetic. The lack of hustle was real.

We are in the minority. Tag and trade this dude. Use that money on other areas of the team and reward those franchise players who truly deserve it.

If he was out their freelancing to get sacks and loafing, I highly doubt they would have kept him on the field and sure as s**t wouldn't be working on a LTD for him.

how many pressures though. It's not all about sacks bud. You could use that logic and say Justin Smith sucks too then lol.

Keep AA and Trade Dee Ford

Interesting short article and I totally agree!

Man people are so overreacting to the SB loss. I get it...it sucked but getting rid of key players for why we won most of the year isn't smart.

Ford is a key part of our DL and just needs to stay healthy. Armstead and him are very different players.

10 sacks on a contract year and 9 the previous 4 combined.....no teams will be rushing out to sign Armstead.

Difficult choices have to be made based on medical evidence. Hope it works out with dee. But if not I understand that too.
