The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to trade pass rusher Bryce Huff to the San Francisco 49ers for a mid-round pick in next year’s draft, both teams announced Monday.
Huff was entering the second season of a three-year, $51.1 million deal with Philadelphia, who signed Huff last offseason after he recorded a career-high 10.0 sacks and 29 combined tackles with the New York Jets in 2023. He was set to make $17 million in fully guaranteed money this year. Now, the Eagles will pay $9.05 million of that total, with the 49ers on the hook for the remaining $7.95 million.
The 27-year-old totaled 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble and 13 combined tackles in 12 regular-season games last season, when Philadelphia won Super Bowl LIX.
Huff will now reunite with Robert Saleh, the 49ers’ new defensive coordinator and the Jets’ head coach from 2021-24. Huff, who went undrafted in 2020, spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Jets (2020-23).
San Francisco is coming off a 6-11 season that saw it miss the playoffs for the first time since 2020. Huff will join a 49ers edge group that includes five-time Pro Bowler Nick Bosa and 2025 first-round draft pick Mykel Williams.
