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. ___ AP NFL:

The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to trade pass rusher Bryce Huff to the San Francisco 49ers for a mid-round pick in next year's draft, both teams announced Monday. Huff was entering the second season of a three-year, $51.1 million deal with Philadelphia, who signed Huff last offseason after he recorded a career-high 10.0 sacks and 29 combined tackles with the New York Jets in 2023. He was set to make $17 million in fully guaranteed money this year. Now, the Eagles will pay $9.05 million of that total, with the 49ers on the hook for the remaining $7.95 million. The 27-year-old totaled 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble and 13 combined tackles in 12 regular-season games last season, when Philadelphia won Super Bowl LIX.

Eagles To Trade 10-Sack Edge Rusher To 49ers
Eagles To Trade 10-Sack Edge Rusher To 49ers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Bryce Huff experiment only lasted a single season with the Philadelphia Eagles, but it easily became one of the worst moves made in their current era of dominance. Advertisement Now, it's over. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Friday afternoon that the Eagles were shipping the former New York Jets edge rusher to the San Francisco 49ers for a late-round draft pick. Huff had reworked his deal to make a trade possible. In San Francisco, he will join his former head coach, Robert Saleh, who was hired as the 49ers' defensive coordinator after a four-year run with the Jets. The former Memphis product thrived in Saleh's wide-nine defense. Huff recorded 10 sacks in 2023 with Gang Green and 17.5 in four seasons with the Jets. After signing a three-year, $51 million deal with the Eagles last offseason, the hope was that Huff would continue his pass-rushing dominance. Advertisement It never ended up happening, though. Huff struggled to play the run in Vic Fangio's system and later dealt with injuries that kept him off the field. Huff recorded just 2.5 sacks in 2024 and was a healthy scratch during the team's win in Super Bowl LIX. Since that win, Huff has been away from the organization including missing all offseason workouts. It was clear he wanted a fresh start away from Philadelphia. Now, the Eagles have found a trade partner that fits what Huff wants, while also reportedly saving over $15 million in cap space this offseason and taking him completely off the books after the 2025 season. Advertisement Huff wanted to go to a team that better fit his skill set. Now, he will get that chance.
