The San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles are working to finalize a trade that will send edge rusher Bryce Huff to San Francisco for a mid-round pick, sources told ESPN.
The trade cannot and would not be processed until after June 1. But both sides are working to make it happen, and Huff already has reworked his contract to help facilitate the trade.
In San Francisco, Huff will be reunited with 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, his former head coach with the Jets.
For the trade to be get finalized next week, the Eagles restructured Huff’s contract. He was set to make about $17 million fully guaranteed this season from Philadelphia, but the Eagles now will take on only $9.05 million in salary, leaving the 49ers responsible for the remaining $7.95 million due to Huff this season.
Under Saleh in 2023, Huff had a career-high 10 sacks and 68 pressures on just 312 pass rush snaps — the best pressure rate in the NFL at 21.8%, per Next Gen Stats.
