Armstead Stays With Jaguars Despite Rumors | Jacksonville Jaguars News
Description
Arik Armstead’s future with the Jaguars just got a lot clearer — and it’s not about cutting him. Despite rumors he could be a cap casualty to save $17M, the team is sticking with the veteran defensive tackle. His late-season slump — zero sacks in the final seven games — was blamed on a hand injury that forced him to play with one hand for six games, limiting his run-stopping ability. After a rocky first year moved to defensive end, Armstead thrived when shifted back to DT under new coaching, racking up 5.5 sacks before the injury. With no clear replacement and entering his contract year, Armstead remains Jacksonville’s most proven interior pass rusher — and they’re betting he’ll bounce back big next season.
