Eagles Trade Bryce Huff to 49ers Post-June 1

The Philadelphia Eagles are finalizing a trade to send edge rusher Bryce Huff to the San Francisco 49ers for a mid-round draft pick, with the deal set to become official after June 1 to address salary cap considerations. Huff, who signed a three-year, $51.1 million contract following a breakout 2023 season under Robert Saleh with the Jets, underperformed in Philadelphia due to injuries and limited playing time, finishing the 2024 season with only 2.5 sacks. The trade will reunite Huff with Saleh, now serving as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator. Philadelphia will pay $9.05 million of Huff’s 2025 salary, with San Francisco covering the remaining $7.95 million. The Eagles gain financial flexibility by moving on from Huff, while the 49ers hope he helps replenish their pass rush after significant defensive line roster turnover. Both teams believe the trade aligns with their roster and financial strategies.
