The Philadelphia Eagles have officially agreed to trade DE Bryce Huff to the 49ers in exchange for a mid-round pick in 2026, pending a physical, according to Adam Schefter.
The framework of the deal has been agreed upon in recent days, but wasn’t prepared to be finalized until after June 1st for cap purposes.
Schefter also notes Huff is set to make around $17 million guaranteed after restructuring his contract with the Eagles, but Philadelphia will only take on $9.05 million of his salary for 2025 following a trade.
Field Yates points out the 49ers will pay the remaining $7.95 million on his deal and inherit the final two years of his contract, while Philadelphia frees up over $15 million in cap space.
Huff hasn’t been at any of Philadelphia’s voluntary workouts this spring.
It was reported earlier this offseason that Philadelphia is open to trading Huff even though he’s under contract through 2026. With the Eagles’ deep rotation of edge rushers, Huff was used in a limited role in 2024 despite signing a three-year, $51.1 million deal before the season.
Huff had a breakout season playing 49ers DC Robert Saleh while they were with the Jets. They’ll be reunited in San Francisco.
Huff, 26, signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Memphis following the 2020 NFL Draft. He signed the standard three-year UDFA deal.
New York re-signed him as a restricted free agent in 2023. Huff was testing the free agent market as an unrestricted free agent when he signed a three-year, $51 million deal with the Eagles.
In 2024, Huff appeared in 12 games for the Eagles and recorded 13 total tackles, three tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble.
