The San Francisco 49ers signed linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong to a two-year extension this past winter, but the front office and coaching staff overhaul means few if any jobs are safe. The 49ers made that clear for Armstrong when they signed Malcolm Smith to a sizable contract in free agency. The final two years are options, but Smith likely has a good idea of what the 49ers want in their new defense.
Prior to the Smith signing, Armstrong looked like the fit for the weak side linebacker role. Smith is likely looking at that role now, leaving Armstrong competing for whatever he can get beyond special teams work.
