San Francisco has restructured the contract of defensive lineman Arik Armstead, ESPN's Field Yates reported Saturday, citing a source. The 49ers cleared $11.78 million in salary-cap space, Yates added.
This comes one day after the 49ers officially signed star edge rusher Nick Bosa to a five-year, $170 million contract extension -- the largest non-quarterback contract ever and the largest in 49ers franchise history.

San Francisco now has the leeway to make an in-season move if needed, or save it for a future contract.
Bosa's signing made him the fourth prominent 49ers player to sign a lucrative contract extension in the past four years, and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk could be next. Of course, that's dependent on his production on the field this season, and that all starts Sunday.
