Armstead has a point when you find out what he was offered<\/p>\n

Former San Francisco 49ers<\/a> first-round pick, team captain, and Walter Payton Man of the Year Arik Armstead shared his side of the story on his podcast<\/a> Thursday about the Niners approaching him to redo his contract before being released.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThey extended an offer to me for $6 million for a one-year deal with incentives to go up to like 8 (million). When they sent that over, I did feel extremely disrespected. I don\u2019t feel like that level of compensation is nowhere near the player that I am.<\/p>\n

Not even the type of player that I am. What I have committed to the game. What I have committed to my team. What I have committed to my organization and my community. I didn\u2019t feel like it was representative of who I am as a player and a person.<\/p>\n

Also, too, like, I put a lot into what I do. I\u2019m not just a guy who goes to practice, goes home. Just does all the bare minimum team stuff just to get by. I\u2019m a guy who watched the most film, invests the most time, preparation. Working on my game, my craft. I have a real passion for this. A true love for this. I know for a fact that I do a lot more than the majority of players. I put a lot more into football than the majority of players.<\/p>\n

I think that has value as well, too. And, that\u2019s how I value myself as a player, in a multitude of ways. So, I didn\u2019t feel like that offer was anywhere near the level of compensation for a player like me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Armstead went on to say that he has no animosity toward the 49ers. He understands that it\u2019s a business, but wow. Going from earning $18 million in 2024 to being asked to take over a $10 million pay cut makes it easy to see why Armstead bet on himself.<\/p>\n

Armstead would also say on his podcast, \u201cIt\u2019s crazy how, being in this position, you\u2019ll start to even question yourself a little bit. For a split second, I was like, \u2018Dang, am I really not like that?\u2019 No, ain\u2019t no way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nobody is arguing against the fact that he missed time. That\u2019s why the 49ers were in the position they were in. He was and remained one of the team’s best players when he was on the field, and he proved it in the playoffs. This is a situation where there\u2019s no real reason to dislike Armstead. He felt like he was worth a specific number, and he came close to that with the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you put yourself in Arik\u2019s shoes, how many of you are taking the 49ers offer? Not many.<\/p>\n
