BREAKING: San Francisco 49ers Trade For Former Dallas Cowboys Pass Rusher To Replace star player

The San Francisco 49ers made a deal Wednesday that would fill Arik Armstead’s spot on the defensive line. The 49ers plan to release Armstead this summer after the former first-round pick declined to take a wage cut.

The San Francisco 49ers did not wish to pay Arik Armstead.

The 49ers did not want to pay Armstead because his overall performance has dropped in recent seasons. Armstead reached the jackpot ($85 million over five seasons) by recording ten sacks in the 2019 season. He had just 11 sacks in the prior three seasons.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, with Armstead on his way out, the 49ers dealt with the Houston Texans for defensive tackle Maliek Collins.

Collins recorded as many sacks as Armstead in 2023

The Dallas Cowboys selected Collings in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He has been with the Texans since the 2021 season.
Collins matched Armstead’s sack total during the 2023 season, recording five. Collins has 206 tackles, 25.5 sacks, and one forced fumble over his eight-year NFL career.

Collins received a 62.7 rating from Pro Football Focus for his overall performance during the 2023 season. Last season, he had a stronger pass rush grade (70.1) than his run defense (45.6). Armstead had an 81.9 overall grade for his performance in the 2023 season.
