The 49ers complete trade to acquire edge rusher Bryce Huff from the Eagles for a mid-round pick
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers have completed the trade with the Philadelphia Eagles for edge rusher Bryce Huff.
Huff restructured his contract with the Eagles last week to help facilitate the trade that will send a 2026 mid-round pick to Philadelphia and the teams announced it on Monday, pending a physical.
Huff was set to make $17 million in fully guaranteed money this year. The Eagles will pay $9.05 million of that with the 49ers on the hook for the remaining $7.95 million, ESPN reported last week.
The move to acquire Huff gives San Francisco another needed option at edge rusher across from star Nick Bosa and reunites Huff with Robert Saleh, who was his head coach at the New York Jets during his most productive season in 2023.
Huff had 10 sacks that season and recorded 67 pressures on just 334 pass rush snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. Huff translated that breakthrough season into a three-year, $51.1 million deal with the Eagles.
He had only 2 1/2 sacks and 23 pressures in his one season in Philadelphia, missing five games with a wrist injury. He was then a healthy scratch in the Super Bowl.
Huff was originally an undrafted free agent by the Jets in 2020 out of Memphis. He had 7 1/2 sacks in his first three seasons before the breakthrough campaign under Saleh in 2023.
The Niners were in need of another pass rusher after cutting Leonard Floyd early in the offseason. They drafted Mykel Williams 11th overall in April but had no other defensive end who had a season with at least five sacks in the NFL. Yetur Gross-Matos is the only other edge rusher on the roster with extensive experience. Gross-Matos had four sacks last season in his first year with San Francisco.
The Eagles have undergone significant changes at edge rusher this offseason with Brandon Graham retiring and Josh Sweat leaving to sign with Arizona in free agency.
Philadelphia is counting on increased contributions from returning players Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt and has also signed Azeez Ojulari and Joshua Uche in free agency.

Now, the fanbase, you want to be on their side - we all know that. They are very passionate. Their fans know their sports.' But inside that locker room? First of all, inside that locker room. The propice locker room was underwhelming. I was like - This is what we got here! The food was great. (Image via Getty) But the indoor? Was not even 100 yards. It was like 60 or 70 yards in a bubble, and we were having to practice with people from Novacare who were actually rehabbing and who were unaffiliated with the organization.

They were just going back and forth, and I'm on a line of scrimmage in a walk-through like - What is going on? And Doug (Pederson) is just holding his little postcard with his notes with his little visor on and, just like - Hey guys, stop it. Just calm down. These guys keep going at it, and eventually, one guy throws a ball at the other guy, and they just run at each other and start fighting. I am just sitting on the line of scrimmage like - Is this really happening? We're trying to get to the playoffs right now. 'This is a coach and a player?' curious Taylor Lewan asked.

Vic Fangio clears the air after rumor about Eagles' Super Bowl review
Vic Fangio clears the air after rumor about Eagles' Super Bowl review (Image Source: Getty Images) A surprising story about the Philadelphia Eagles began to spread quickly. It involved the team's Super Bowl LIX win and what happened after it. The story became popular when one player shared details about a meeting that took place after the big game. But now, the team's defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio, has stepped in to set the record straight. Vic Fangio responds to claim made by Jalyx Hunt On Tuesday, June 4, during the Eagles' offseason workouts (OTAs), Vic Fangio addressed reporters at the team's training facility in Philadelphia. He was asked about a story shared by rookie linebacker Jalyx Hunt. According to Hunt, after the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, Fangio gathered the team to re-watch the fourth quarter of the game. Hunt recalled the coach being upset, saying the performance was 'unacceptable' and that Fangio 'wants perfection.' However, Fangio denied that any such meeting happened. He smiled and said, 'I never did that. I actually brought them together to compliment them on how well they played in the Super Bowl. There was not a negative word spoken. Fake news.' Fangio made the comment in front of local media, and it was reported by Christopher Franklin of NJ Advance Media. Fangio also added that the moment was meant to praise the team, not criticize them.

The game took place earlier this year, and Philadelphia built a huge lead. At one point, the Eagles were ahead 34-0 late in the third quarter. Though the Chiefs scored 22 points in the final minutes, they never came close to catching up. One standout moment for Kansas City was a long 50-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to Xavier Worthy. But the Eagles were never truly in danger. This strong performance helped them win their second Super Bowl in franchise history. Still, Hunt's version of events, where Fangio pushed for perfection even after a big win, got fans talking. The idea of a coach wanting more even after a championship made for a dramatic story. But now, Fangio has clearly called the tale 'fake news' and says the real message was all about appreciation.
