Shortly after the NFL new league year began and the 2024 edition of free agency was officially underway, an interesting tweet caught hold of Bills Mafia, all of whom were looking for more signs of life from a fairly quiet Buffalo Bills front office.
When out of left field came a tweet by Matt Barrows, who covers the San Francisco 49ers for The Athletic. Barrows reported that the 49ers had released defensive tackle Arik Armstead, and that all eyes should be kept on Armstead landing with the Bills.
Come again?
The 49ers have released Arik Armstead, the team announced.
