49ers: DE Arik Armstead

The 2015 first-round pick had a career year playing amongst one of the most dominant defensive lines in football.

Arik Armstead recorded 54 total tackles, 10 sacks and two passes defended. Armstead lead the 49ers in quarterback takedowns this season. He has also recorded a sack in each of San Francisco’s playoff games this season.

With Armstead looking to cash in on the open market, he could be a contingency plan for the Jets if the team decides not to pursue tier-one pass-rushers like Yannick Ngakoue, Jadeveon Clowney, Shaquil Barrett, Matthew Judon and Dante Fowler Jr.
