Overview

  • Philadelphia and San Francisco executed a post-June 1 deal that sent Huff to the 49ers while the Eagles retained most of his salary cap hit.
  • Huff has commenced offseason workouts in Saleh’s familiar defensive system as he looks to rejuvenate his play.
  • He seeks to recreate the 10-sack, high-pressure production he delivered under Saleh with the Jets in 2023.
  • Huff’s lone Eagles season was derailed by a torn wrist ligament, a 2.5-sack output and inactivation for the Super Bowl.
  • San Francisco’s pass rush, featuring Nick Bosa and rookie Mykel Williams, is poised to complement Huff’s situational edge-rushing role.
