The late-May trade that sent Bryce Huff from the Eagles to the San Francisco 49ers did not come as a surprise to the player involved in the transaction. The writing had been on the wall long before then,

Huff came off a career-best season in 2023 before signing a three-year deal with Philadelphia in March 2024. He logged 10 sacks that season with the New York Jets, who initially signed Huff as an undrafted free agent in 2020. The move to the Eagles came with high expectations, but quickly revealed itself as a mismatch.
