Eagles confirm trade of DE Bryce Huff to rival 49ers

The Philadelphia Eagles have traded defensive end Bryce Huff to the San Francisco 49ers for a mid-round 2026 draft pick. The move, contingent on Huff passing a physical, sees him reunited with former head coach Robert Saleh, now the 49ers' defensive coordinator. Huff, 27, had restructured his contract to facilitate the trade. Last season with the Eagles, he recorded 2.5 sacks and 13 tackles, a drop from his 10-sack performance with the Jets. The Eagles will cover $9.05 million of his $17 million salary, with the 49ers paying the remaining $7.95 million. The deal couldn't be finalized until June 1 due to NFL salary cap rules. Huff did not participate in the Eagles' OTAs, signaling the impending trade.
