Arik Armstead says the 49ers offer to him was ‘extremely disrespectful’

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

“They 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’t feel like that level of compensation is nowhere near the player that I am.

Not even the type of player that I am.
