Arik Armstead has logged on. The 49ers' defensive end is not here for your slander.

On Wednesday, the Press Democrat's Grant Cohn tweeted that the 49ers should sign Jadeveon Clowney over Armstead in free agency if the two cost the same. Yeah, Armstead wasn't a fan of that take.

If you knew football and how to build a team you’d work in the front office of a NFL team instead of whatever you call yourself. Imagine that https://t.co/hjy9OFTNqe — Arik Armstead (@arikarmstead) February 6, 2020

At the time of publication, Armstead's response has 14.1K likes, while Cohn continues to be ratioed. And for understandable reasons.

While Clowney is a former No. 1 overall draft pick and Armstead took longer to reach his potential, Armstead was the much-better player this season. He played in all 16 games, compared to Clowney's 13, and put up greater numbers.

Armstead, 26, recorded a career-high 10 sacks this season for San Francisco while recording 54 tackles -- 11 for loss -- 18 QB hits and forced two fumbles. Clowney, who also is 26 years old, had a career-low three sacks to go with his 31 tackles -- seven for loss -- 13 QB hits and four forced fumbles.

There's no doubt Clowney still is an extremely talented player when healthy, as he showed with his dominant performance against the 49ers in Week 10. But Armstead proved he can be the player the 49ers envisioned when they selected him with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.

Armstead, a Sacramento native, is set to become a free agent this offseason but he won't come cheap. He wants to return to the 49ers, though, and would be willing to sign the franchise tag.

"I’m from Northern California. I would love to be here and continue my career here," Armstead said to reporters on Wednesday. "I feel like we have a special team that I want to be a part of and try to get back to the Super Bowl.”

The 49ers certainly hope to strike a deal with Armstead in free agency and keep him in the Bay Area for years to come.
