Eagles finalizing trade to send pass rusher Bryce Huff to 49ers for a mid-round draft pick

We initially discussed the NFL's June 1 designation and how that date helps incentivize trades or free agent deals. Bryce Huff is unhappy and has been absent from team activities.

With Huff no longer in the Eagles' plans, Adam Schefter reports that Bryce Huff is heading to the 49ers for a mid-round draft pick.

Signed to a three-year, $51 million deal to replace Haason Reddick , Huff spent the majority of the 2024 season injured or out of the rotation.

A prize-free agent signing this time last spring, Huff was a major disappointment in 2024 and saw limited playing time due to the rotation and injuries. Huff had 2.5 sacks, missed seven games, and was inactive for the Super Bowl.

With Brandon Graham retiring and Josh Sweat signing with Arizona , it was assumed that Huff might take on a larger role in 2024 alongside Nolan Smith . Even after the  Eagles  signed Josh Uche and Azeez Ojulari , Huff has stayed away with voluntary off-season workouts,  Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer  reports.

Bryce Huff wasn’t at practice. In fact, the defensive end hasn’t attended Eagles ’ workouts this entire spring, an NFL source said. That doesn’t necessarily come as a huge surprise since he is unlikely to be part of the Eagles’ plans for 2025. General manager  Howie Roseman , when asked about Huff in early February, might have said  his story “is yet to be written,”  but the fact that he was inactive for the  Super Bowl  said more about his future in Philadelphia.

Huff is entering the second year of that $51 million contract with $16.75 million guaranteed. Philadelphia won't hold any mandatory activities until the one-day minicamp on June 10.
