The San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles are working to finalize a trade that will send edge rusher Bryce Huff to San Francisco for a midround pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Louis Riddick explains why the Commanders pose the biggest threat to the Eagles' chances of repeating as NFC champions this season. Nick Wagoner is an NFL reporter at ESPN. Nick has covered the San Francisco 49ers since 2016, having previously covered the St.
Louis Rams for 12 years, including three years at ESPN. In over a decade with the company, Nick has led ESPN's coverage of the Niners' 2019 and 2023 Super Bowl run, Colin Kaepernick's protest, the Rams making Michael Sam the first openly gay player drafted to the NFL, Sam's subsequent pursuit of a roster spot and the team's relocation and stadium saga.The trade, which is expected to be finalized next week after the calendar turns to June, includes a restructured contract for Huff, sources told Schefter. Huff was slated to make $16.75 million in fully guaranteed money in 2025 but the Eagles will take on $9.05 million in salary, leaving the Niners to handle the remaining $7.95 million this season once the deal is completed. San Francisco is expected to send a mid-round draft pick to the Eagles for Huff.Upon landing in San Francisco, Huff will be reunited with defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, who was Huff's head coach with thefor three seasons. There, Huff had his best NFL season in 2023, posting a career-high 10 sacks and 68 pressures on 312 pass rush snaps. That 21.8% pressure rate was the best in the NFL, according to Next Gen Stats. That breakout season resulted in Huff landing one of the biggest free agent deals of 2024 when he signed a three-year, $51 million deal with the Eagles. But Huff never got his footing in Philadelphia, finishing last season with 13 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 12 games with just six starts. With the 49ers, Huff is joining a team that has undergone an extensive defensive makeover in the offseason, especially on the defensive line. Star defensive endHuff provides not only experience on the edge opposite Bosa but also could allow the team to move Williams around the line in sub-packages after Williams played about 36% of his snaps inside during the 2024 college season.
