Eagles Trade Bryce Huff to 49ers for Draft Pick

The Philadelphia Eagles have traded edge rusher Bryce Huff to the San Francisco 49ers after Huff struggled to adapt to Vic Fangio's defensive scheme and was a healthy scratch during the Super Bowl. Huff signed a three-year, $51 million deal with the Eagles but managed just 2.5 sacks in 12 games, a decline from his 10-sack season with the Jets under then-head coach Robert Saleh. The Eagles receive a middle-round draft pick in what is widely seen as a salary dump, clearing cap space amid mounting defensive line losses from Brandon Graham's retirement, Josh Sweat’s exit, and Milton Williams joining the Patriots. Philadelphia is now targeting veteran free agents like Von Miller and Za'Darius Smith to bolster their pass rush. Meanwhile, the 49ers hope to revive Huff’s production in a supportive system alongside Nick Bosa. San Francisco is also reportedly eyeing running back Breece Hall as a future replacement for Christian McCaffrey.
