The star defender explains why he was so disappointed with the 49ers. However, the defensive tackle initially conceals one important detail.

After nine years, Arik Armstead has left the San Francisco 49ers and signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

With the Niners, the defensive tackle developed into one of the best defenders in the NFL, twice reaching the Super Bowl with the Californians.

However, the separation from his long-standing team was obviously not particularly harmonious.

In the trailer for the latest episode of his podcast “Third and Long”, the 30-year-old complains vehemently about the manner of his dismissal.

He initially made it clear in the video that he harbored no animosity towards the franchise or the people working there.

However, he then lashed out at his former team. “I felt extremely disrespected,” he raged and also explained why

The 49ers had made him an offer to extend his contract. But this obviously did not meet his expectations.

But when he mentions the exact amount, the video goes silent. It can be assumed that he will reveal this secret in the podcast, which will be published later this evening.

Armstead addresses 49ers fans

At the end of the trailer, he addressed Niners fans, saying, “After nine years of being there, the fans deserve to know what happened. I had to make some decisions. “

The first episode of ThirdAndLong Season 2 drops tomorrow.

However, supporters in the Bay Area will also have to wait a little longer to find out exactly what the team’s offer was that Armstead turned down.

In any case, he decided to accept the Jaguars’ offer. It amounted to 51 million dollars for the next three years.
