Source: 49ers Acquire Eagles Edge Rusher Huff

The San Francisco 49ers have reached an agreement to bring Bryce Huff, a pass rusher previously with the Philadelphia Eagles, to their roster in a trade expected to be finalized shortly after June 1, 2025.
The trade follows the 49ers’ need for more pass rush depth after investing heavily in Fred Warner and Nick Bosa while undergoing a defensive front overhaul.
Huff, an undrafted player out of Memphis, reunited with head coach Robert Saleh and enjoyed a standout 2023 season with the Jets, registering a career-high 10 sacks and leading the league with a pass-rush pressure rate of 21.8%.
The 49ers will send a mid-round draft pick and assume part of Huff’s $17 million fully guaranteed 2025 salary, with the Eagles covering $9.05 million of his contract.
This move frees over $15 million in cap space for the Eagles and adds a rotational edge rusher for the 49ers, potentially enhancing Nick Bosa’s pass-rushing opportunities.
