He has been solid for us.
Scout.com: Armond Armstead Profile
Armstead is a freak he was the #1 OL and #2 overall recruit coming out of HS.
He is taller, stronger, faster and more athletic than Suh. Him next to Wilfork should be fun to watch.

Correct even his link says "Pos: DT Pos Rank: #19"I believe you're talking about his younger brother Arik Armstead. Not that the elder Armstead wasn't highly recruited as well. But it was Arik who was the #1 OT in the country.
Perhaps it was a nice gesture to release him now so that he has time to search for a new team, but what if one of our top guys gets hurt? It's a long way until week one. Plenty of time for someone to wind up on IR or PUP.
Seems a little weird that he was flat out cut. I'm sure more will come out as to why this happened. We can keep speculating. The media will filter out information as to the cut. Perhaps the team is more pleased with both Armstead and Kelly than previously expected. Love may be further along too. And perhaps he didn't show up in great shape.
The release of Deaderick is hopefully a good sign that Jermaine Cunningham is ready to be a part of this team as a DT/DE rotational depth guy who can provide an impact when he is on the field.
Don't bet the house that Cunningham is on the roster come august,he has a lot to prove in TC in his 3rd year.
I would agree with this statement too Cunningham is right on the roster bubbleActually, he'll be in his fourth. And I'll bet the house that Cunningham will be released.
I'm with you. Everyone applauds this because we have 4 DL's ahead of Deaderick. So what?!! Deaderick was competing with Forston for the mythical 5th DT spot, or not. But I would think that we needed depth in case of injury. I don't understand cutting Deaderick until the last cuts.
