Look at the years he cut those guys. He didn't cut those guys in the prime of their career. Using your Bill Walsh analogy, he gets 2 to 3 more years out of AA, then cuts/trades him. This is like cutting Freddie Solomon in 81 or Fred Dean in 82. Unless Armstead absolutely wants top dollar, we can make this work. I think anywhere from 10 to 15 million is doable for the short term. He won't play out the entire contract because we have higher guys on the pecking order whose deals will expire (Bosa in particular) OR AA can opt for the short term deal of 2 to 3 years at 10 to 15 million and then have a shot at a third big money contract. He'd still be under 30 and have several prime years left, while likely he has a legit shot at being an All-Pro/multi-time Pro Bowler and in A LOT of prime time games on this Dline for a few more seasons. He also has a much easier job facing guards or tackles usually one on one because it is suicide to consistently double any one guy on this Dline. I see Subway commercials in this guy's future with that belly rub sack celebration lol. And that will only drive his price tag higher in 2 years, provided he is healthy :-).
I seriously doubt Armstead will take anywhere close to 10 mil a year, nor want a short team deal. Especially with long term contracts on the horizon. I can see on the open market, at his age getting 13-15 mil a year/5 years with 30-40 guaranteed.

id let AA walk. Yea he is having a great season but he was a total bust before this year. Surround a guy with talent and he will look better. I think we can sign/draft a solid replacement and keep the group together with the money saved.

Witherspoon, Goodwin, Pettis got surrounded by more talent and got worse.
