Philadelphia Eagles Officially Trade Free Agency Bust
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. As expected, the Philadelphia Eagles will not roll into the 2025 NFL season with Bryce Huff on the roster. Pending a physical, the veteran defensive end will be heading out west to join the San Francisco 49ers. On Monday, the Eagles and the 49ers officially announced the move. As long as everything goes right on the physical front, the Eagles will net a 2026 mid-round draft pick from San Francisco. Huff's tenure with the Eagles was short-lived, and ultimately, goes down as disappointing, despite the team's success throughout the 2024 run, which ended with a Super Bowl LIX victory. We've agreed to trade DE Bryce Huff to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2026 mid-round draft pick, pending a physical. — Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) June 2, 2025 In 2020, Huff entered the NFL after a four-year run at Memphis. Although he was eligible to be selected in the 2020 NFL Draft, Huff went through seven rounds without hearing his name called. Eventually, the New York Jets gave the young linebacker an opportunity to join their team as an undrafted prospect. After a successful summer in New York, Huff landed a chance to crack the Jets' 53-man roster ahead of opening day. During his rookie effort, Huff appeared in 14 games. He registered 16 tackles and two sacks. It became clear that the young pass rusher had a future in the league, leading him to stick around as a key contributor in New York for several seasons. Throughout his final three seasons with the Jets, Huff would appear in 40 games. He totaled 15.5 sacks, registered 39 QB hits, and nearly notched 50 tackles, with 13 going for a loss.

MoreAfter playing multiple roles with the Jets, Huff was a flight risk in free agency. He was a restricted free agent last spring, and saw the Jets place a second-round tender on him. As the Eagles braced for a critical loss on the defensive line, they looked to fill the void by signing Huff to a three-year contract. At the time, Huff was viewed as a major acquisition for the Eagles, who hoped to contend for a Super Bowl with a strong pass rush. The Huff experience in Philadelphia didn't go as planned. The veteran appeared in just 12 games for the Eagles, starting in half of those matchups. He collected under three sacks and had just 13 tackles to show for at the end of the regular season. Amid the Eagles' Super Bowl run, Huff played in just two games. He didn't produce any stats as the Eagles flew their way through the NFL Playoffs and landed in New Orleans for the Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs. Although Huff wraps up his Eagles tenure on a low note, he'll get a chance to bounce back with the 49ers. While the veteran pass rusher is still getting paid a notable salary as he enters year two of his $51 million deal, one bad year in Philadelphia doesn't guarantee he can't get back on track when he joins the 49ers for the start of the 2025 NFL season.

Eagles Analyst Predicts Best Fit At Edge Rusher After Bryce Huff Trade
Eagles Analyst Predicts Best Fit At Edge Rusher After Bryce Huff Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Despite losing several key pieces to their Super Bowl roster this offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles aren't overly concerned about their biggest perceived position of need. Advertisement Josh Sweat, Brandon Graham, and Bryce Huff's departures from the organization have seemingly left major holes along the edge of their elite defense. Philadelphia does have young players like Jalyx Hunt and Nolan Smith to pick up the slack, but there's no guarantee they'll be able to do all that is needed. It's why the team went bargin-bin shopping at the position in free agency. Josh Uche and Azeez Ojulari were both brought in to the team to help bolster the organization's pass rush. In the case of the former Giant in Ojulari, NBC Philadelphia's own Reuben Frank believes he can be an excellent fit for what the team needs. Advertisement "With the Eagles giving up on Bryce Huff after just 12 games and 285 snaps, I would expect the next man up behind starters Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt to be Azeez Ojulari, who has produced when he's been healthy but has rarely been healthy," Frank said. "Ojulari had 22 sacks in 46 games with the Giants, which is 0.48 sacks per game – almost half a sack per game." Health is certainly an issue for Ojulari, but he has been a very productive edge rusher for New York over his career. He'll join a defense in desperate need of quality players who can both rush the passer and play the run well. There's reason to suspect they can get that with Ojulari in 2025. And if there's anyone who can get the most out of a player like that, it's defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.

League Names Most Complete Team: 'Everyone Wants to Be Eagles'
League Names Most Complete Team: 'Everyone Wants to Be Eagles' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Few teams in NFL history have dominated their way to a Super Bowl quite like the Philadelphia Eagles did last season. After a franchise-record 14 regular-season wins, the Eagles rolled through the postseason en route to their 40-22 win in Super Bowl LIX. Advertisement Since their victory, teams around the league have tried to emulate what the Eagles were able to do during the 2024-25 season. It's hard to match Philly, though, when the roster is so talented. That's why has called the Eagles the best and most complete team in the league heading into the 2025 season. "They incurred free-agent losses this offseason befitting of a Super Bowl champion and a franchise that has won 45 games (including playoffs) over the past three years," said. "After all, everyone wants to be like the Eagles. "Yet even with some departures, primarily on the defensive side, the team remains set up to compete for a title again thanks to the brilliant craftsmanship of GM Howie Roseman." Advertisement Everyone wants to be the Eagles. That kind of statement would have been seen as ludicrous 15 years ago. Philadelphia has been highly consistent over the team's history, but struggled to win championships over their near 100-year history. Since their title win in 2018, though, things have changed. Philadelphia is no longer considered a team who can't win the big one. They are now considered one of the most feared teams in the sport. … and the envy of all of their NFL enemies.

Eagles' compensation from 49ers could become a fourth-round pick if Bryce Huff performs
Eagles' compensation from 49ers could become a fourth-round pick if Bryce Huff performs Philadelphia traded Bryce Huff to San Francisco, and Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports reports that the Eagles' 2026 mid-round pick could turn into a fourth-round selection if Bryce Huff performs well. After days of reaction and breakdowns, the Eagles have officially agreed to trade pass rusher Bryce Huff to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2026 mid-round pick pending a physical. Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports reports that the compensation is a fifth-round pick that could potentially become a fourth-round pick if Huff performs well in San Francisco. 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. Huff is entering the second year of that $51 million contract with $16.75 million guaranteed. The Eagles wanted Huff gone, and are taking on $9.05 million of Huff's salary, and the 49ers are paying the remaining $7.95 million. Huff reworked his deal to make the trade happen.
