Who won the Bryce Huff trade between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles

Who won the Bryce Huff trade between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Francisco 49ers agreed on a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles to bring edge rusher Bryce Huff to the Bay Area in exchange for what was initially reported as a "mid-round" draft pick. Advertisement We now officially know the exchange included a conditional fifth-round pick that could turn into a fourth based on Huff's performance with the 49ers. Judging by both teams' situations, you could argue that they both came away winners here. San Francisco was facing a mass exodus of quality defensive players this offseason and needed help on the edge opposite of Nick Bosa. For Philadelphia, they were clearly not in favor of keeping Huff after a letdown season resulted in him being a healthy scratch in the Eagles' Super Bowl win. What do the grades say? Pretty similar. ESPN believes both teams benefitted equally and earned a B+ in the deal. Advertisement On the San Fran side, Seth Walder writes: "This is a pretty reasonable play for San Francisco. As poorly as Huff played last season, there's still plenty to like in his history, and his pass rush win rate remained solid despite his struggles. "Though that shows Huff slowing down, it's still a better-than-average get-off for an edge rusher." The best part of the deal for the 49ers is the cost financially. Huff had restructured his contract with Philly to make this work, allowing San Francisco to just under $8 million for the year. Philadelphia is stuck paying more, but the restructure is much more beneficial than being responsible for his three-year, $51.1 million contract without the player. The Eagles benefit as they get to unload a player who did not meet on-field expectations last season and be rewarded with a high Day 3 draft pick. Advertisement "From 2020 to 2022, Huff recorded a 26% pass rush win rate at edge -- a top-10 number at the position had he qualified ..." Walder continued about Huff's 10-sack season that earned him that contract ahead of last year. "His win rate fell to a career-low 19% (which is still higher than average), but the sacks weren't there (2.5) and his playing time dipped before he missed time in the second half of the season to have wrist surgery." The Eagles still have a loaded roster and this departure shouldn't do too much to their pass rush depth with them bringing back a collection of formidable pieces in Nolan Smith Jr., Azeez Ojulari and Joshua Uche. Plus, Philadelphia gets to save a bit of cap space by shipping off some of Huff's contract. Everything seems even right now, but that's the funny thing about grading trades with over three months until the season starts. Things can happen one way or another to cause drastic reconsideration for the true winner here. Advertisement The Niners are banking on reuniting Huff with defensive coordinator Robert Saleh (his head coach during his career-year with the New York Jets in 2023) will pay major dividends.

Sean O'Malley and Julianna Peña were both finished in their UFC 316 championship fights. What's next? MMA Junkie's Mike Bohn plays matchmaker. Sean O'Malley and Julianna Peña were finished in their UFC 316 championship fights Saturday vs. Merab Dvalishvili and Kayla Harrison, respectively. In the headliner at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., former champ O'Malley (18-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) failed in his bid to reclaim the bantamweight belt from Dvalishvili (20-4 MMA, 13-2 UFC), falling short by third-round submission. Peña (11-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC) was a far bigger underdog and the result aligned when she was forced to tap out by Harrison (19-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) in the second round to drop her women's bantamweight strap. Where do the results leave O'Malley and Peña in their respective divisions? Watch the video above as MMA Junkie senior reporter Mike Bohn plays matchmaker in the aftermath of UFC 316.

Amanda Nunes Says Kayla Harrison Was The Reason She Left Gym

While newly crowned UFC women's bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes say there is no animosity between them, Nunes says Harrison was behind her decision to part ways with her former gym, American Top Team. "Yes, I did [leave because of Kayla Harrison]," Nunes told ESPN after UFC 316. "Because when she got there, she started training with my coach, Mike Brown, Anderson [Franca], everybody, and I knew this fight would happen one day. "If I was there now, that would be a problem. A huge problem for [American Top Team owner] Nunes said the feeling at ATT was that a fight between herself and Harrison was inevitable. "As soon as she got a microphone, she used to talk about me," said Nunes. "From that moment, we already started getting like, not different, but like we always respect each other in the gym – but we knew the energy. We never would be able to connect. "Here and there we were training, also I was completely out of shape. Every time I'd come back to the gym, somehow we're training and I'm like damn, I'm going to train with Kayla when I'm completely out of shape? That's not fair. Now we're going to see each other when I'm at full-time in camp, 100 percent strong 'The Lioness' and she's going to know exactly who I am inside the cage." Harrison captured the UFC women's bantamweight title on Saturday night of the co-main event of UFC 316, dominating Julianna Pena on her way to a late third-round submission win to claim that title. After the win, Harrison invited Nunes, who was on hand at the Prudential Center in New Jersey for UFC 316, to step into the Octagon, where Harrison said, "I feel like we knew this was going to happen. I have the belt, she has the legacy. Let's put it on the table." If Nunes is not the best woman to compete in MMA, she is at least in the conversation. Nunes debuted with the UFC in 2013 with a 7-3 record. She opened her career with the promotion with two first-round knockout wins. However, in her third outing under the UFC banner, Nunes fell to Cat Zingano, losing that fight by TKO in the third round. Nunes would not lose again until December 2021. During her 12-fight winning streak, Nunes won the bantamweight title and defended it five times, beating notable names Miesha Tate, Ronda Rousey, and Holly Holm by first-round stoppage. Nunes also captured the featherweight belt during that title run, defending it twice. Nunes took ownership of the 145-pound crown with a first-round knockout of Cris Cyborg, who had not tasted defeat in over 13 years. In a flat and somewhat confusing performance, Nunes lost her 135-pound crown in December 2021, falling to Julianna Pena by second-round submission. In July 2022, Nunes regained the bantamweight belt with a decision win over Pena. She defended the crown against Aldana, who replaced the injured Pena in what was to be a trilogy bout. Nunes then retired from active competition as the bantamweight and featherweight champ. "Double champion forever," Nunes said after the win. "This is the perfect night to retire." Nunes' split with ATT came after her loss to Pena. Nunes, who is not in the UFC drug testing pool and has not been tested since 2023, said she would like to face Harrison before the end of the year. UFC CEO Dana White said during the UFC 316 post-fight press conference that the promotion would discuss the matchup and the weight class for the Harrison vs. Pena fight during Tuesday's matchmaking meeting.
