49ers execute fifth-year option for DE Arik Armstead
The San Francisco 49ers picked up Arik Armstead’s fifth-year option, keeping the defensive lineman under contract with the team through 2019. Was it the right move for the Niners?
On Monday, the San Francisco 49ers exercised defensive lineman Arik Armstead’s fifth-year option for the 2019 season.
The deal is worth over $9 million due to the fact Armstead technically plays the more expensive defensive end position, although his best work has come from the interior of the Niners’ defensive line.
Fifth-year options: The #49ers exercised theirs for DL Arik Armstead and the #Eagles did the same for WR Nelson Agholor, sources say.
