JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Week 4 was a game defined by the Jacksonville Jaguars winning in the trenches, and one of the most important pieces of those efforts was defensive tackle Arik Armstead.
Veteran Jaguars DL Arik Armstead is aware that many people were putting his name into the rumor mill and believed the team would move on from him this offseason, even if it was to save cap space.
Heading into his second year in HC Liam Coen‘s offense, Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence feels significantly more confident in the system’s details and mental aspect. “Just having the system down, there’s so much more confidence when you step on the field that we know what we’re doing,” Lawrence said, via the team’s website.

A few trades have rearranged the NFL's backup quarterback ranks, but the dust has mostly settled. From a mix of recent first-round disappointments, aging vets, and young project types, here is how the league's QB2 ranks look for the 2026 season.
The Jacksonville Jaguars may decide to release Arik Armstead for financial reasons, and New York should be all over the situation. The New York Giants traded Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason, and the ripple effects along the interior defensive line remain the franchise’s most pressing concern.
Armstead discussed whether or not outsiders should now view Lawrence as an elite player at the sport's most important position.

NFL stars can't play forever, and retirement is coming sooner than later for some of the league's top players. These 25 players could call it quits following the 2026 season.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Liam Coen-Robert Saleh beef is no more. This was expected when Coen openly spoke about his admiration for Saleh earlier this week on Radio Row.
The Jacksonville Jaguars made waves last offseason, overhauling their staff and changing about half of the roster after a disappointing 4-13 finish in the 2024 campaign.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. --Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Arik Armstead has played a lot of big games in his career, including multiple Super Bowls. For him, Week 14 presents yet another chance to play in the spotlight and the big moments that winning teams get to be a part of.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Arik Armstead has made quite the impact since signing with the Jaguars. The on-field impact has been clear.
Arik Armstead makes his return to Levi's Stadium for the first time since the San Francisco 49ers cut him in the 2024 offseason. The 49ers released him after he rejected a pay cut.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Arik Armstead spoke in the locker room Wednesday to talk about his first game against the San Francisco 49ers since his near-decade with the franchise, and we were there for it all.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed new DL Arik Armstead on the PUP, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we won't see him in training camp.
Armstead should greatly improve the Jaguars' pass rush, but he has high expectations for his new teammate.
Needing to clear cap space and with a considerable amount of resources invested in their defensive front already, the 49ers elected to release defensive tackle Arik Armstead.
Defensive lineman Arik Armstead, a first-round pick by the 49ers in the 2015 NFL Draft, became one of the top free agents on the open market when he was released by San Francisco last month after declining to take a pay cut.
The San Francisco 49ers have had to make some difficult contract decisions this offseason, and they are leaving at least one former player feeling a bit disrespected.
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Arik Armstead is not exactly happy with the way the San Francisco 49ers handled his departure. Earlier this offseason, the 49ers asked Armstead to take a pay cut, and he declined.
Arik Armstead was the longest-tenured member of the San Francisco 49ers, joining the team as a first-round draft pick two years before head coach Kyle Shanahan's tenure began.
A first-round draft pick in 2015, Armstead had been with San Francisco for his entire NFL career. He led the team in sacks during the 2019 season with 10.0 sacks of them and was a crucial cog on the defensive line, eventually becoming a 49ers team captain.
Arik Armstead isn't a free agent yet, but he's expected to become one soon. The San Francisco 49ers plan to release their long-time defensive tackle after failing to negotiate a contract restructure with him.
Releasing Arik Armstead was the right move for the 49ers, but now they have to replace him, and doing so won't be easy. Armstead is too old, too injury prone and too expensive for the 49ers to justify keeping him -- they really had no choice but to ask him to take a pay cut.
