Report: Eagles working to trade Huff to 49ers

The Philadelphia Eagles are working to finalize a trade that would send pass-rusher Bryce Huff to the San Francisco 49ers for a mid-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Huff has already reworked his contract to help facilitate the trade, though the transaction can't be officially processed until after June 1, Schefter adds.

The pass-rusher was slated to make $17 million in fully guaranteed money this season, but the Eagles would take on $9.05 million, while the 49ers will be on the hook for the remaining $7.95 million, Schefter reports.

Philadelphia would create north of $15 million in 2025 cap space with the trade, according to ESPN's Field Yates.

Huff would reunite with defensive coordinator Robert Saleh in San Francisco. Saleh was his head coach in 2023 with the New York Jets when Huff posted a career-high 10 sacks.

The Eagles signed the 27-year-old to a lucrative three-year, $51.1-million contract in free agency last offseason. However, he fell out of favor in Philadelphia during the season and ended up a healthy scratch for the club's Super Bowl victory.

Huff finished 2024 with 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble across 12 games (six starts). His production has been inconsistent throughout his career, as he has recorded 20 sacks across five seasons, with half of those coming in 2023.
