Personally think his release is almost assured.

We are releasing him. He's cooked. The feet have been an issue in back to back seasons.

Purely about money.

Let's get real he didn't play down the stretch, back for playoffs, just cuz it's playoffs, and notice we got steamrolled. You think Kyle and John want to run that back? Heck no. Only if he takes a pay reduction to more adequately reflect his new role. He can't be relied upon for games or snaps, or stalwart production.

let's not go over the line, smokey
so if we are cutting for cap reasons, why do you say he won't be released, after all?

I think armstead is currently having his agent test his market before agreeing to a deal with us. I don't think armstead goes anywhere. He also won't want to be far away from Sacramento - born and raised there and does a ton of community work.

i personally hope we can come to an agreement with him. He's still a good player but not worth being one of the highest paid in the league.

I'm pretty sure he's going to get an offer that's better than what we're willing to pay him… especially given the moves we've already made and the cap space we have.

Plus Silver was intimating as much today on KNBR, and he's at least a solid source.

Your 53131 post. Guy says we aren't releasing and you say it's assured. Maybe I am interpreting as you assured they aren't releasing and you are assured they are releasing. In which case, that's a misunderstanding

well right now the only DTs on the roster are Hargrave, Elliott and Kalia Davis
... and the market is drying up

I'm not saying he would come back at the cap number he's currently slated for, but I think Paraag and AA's agent are probably still discussing a restructure.
I was hoping the Niners would fill atleast half of their needs in free agency so they would have more flexibility in the draft but early signs say that wil probally not be the case. They only solved the rotational DE issue so far. Still need a guard, OT, DT, Corner, #2 TE, Linebacker, #3 safety. And quite frankly they still need a 3 down DE opposite Bosa. Oh and they need a punt returner also.
