Bryce Huff Traded To The San Francisco 49ers
The Philadelphia Eagles have traded defensive lineman Bryce Huff to the San Francisco 49ers for a mid-round draft pick, CBS Sports reported.
Speculation about a possible trade began to gain steam on May 30, but a deal could not be made official until after June 1. To help facilitate the deal, Huff restructured his contract, and both teams worked diligently to make the deal happen.
Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports took to X (formerly Twitter) to share what the Eagles received in exchange for Huff’s services.
"Trade compensation update: it’s a 2026 conditional fifth-round pick that can turn into a fourth," CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones wrote of Philly's compensation. "Condition(s) tied to performance. All pending physical."
Additionally, “the Eagles will absorb dead-cap hits of $4.93 million and $16.61 million in 2025 and 2026, respectively,” according to Spotrac.
In 2023, Huff had his best year as a pro, posting a career-high 10 sacks for the New York Jets. Last offseason, Huff signed a three-year, $51 million contract with the Eagles. But what seemed like a great free agent signing turned out to be a significant disappointment. Huff missed five games due to injuries and only managed 2.5 sacks and 15 tackles for the season. During his brief tenure with the Eagles, Huff seemed not to be on the same page as the Eagles' coaching staff.
During the Eagles’ victory in Super Bowl LIX, Huff was inactive although he was healthy enough to play. With that move, the writing was on the wall for Huff’s future in Philly. His roster spot was given to Eagles legend Brandon Graham.
With the trade, Huff will reunite with 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, his former coach during his tenure with the Jets.
