Kyle’s update, 2:07 p.m. PT: Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz reported that Armstead’s deal is for three years and worth $51 million.
Former San Francisco 49ers first-round pick Arik Armstead was officially released on Wednesday afternoon. Not even 24 hours later, Armstead has a new home. According to The Athletic’s Matt Barrows, Amrstead was almost a one-for-one swap in a deal with the Houston Texans for Maliek Collins.
The Athletic’s Dianna Russini mentioned the Buffalo Bills and Tennesee Titans were also in the mix for Armstead. It makes sense that Ran Carton, the Titans general manager, would be interested in Armstead.
