Overview

  • Philadelphia is set to receive a mid-round draft pick in exchange for Huff, with some analysts projecting it may become a conditional sixth-round selection in the 2027 draft.
  • Huff renegotiated his three-year, $51.1 million contract so the Eagles will cover $9.05 million of his 2025 salary and the 49ers will pay the remaining $7.95 million.
  • The trade cannot be officially processed until after June 1 under NFL salary-cap rules, allowing Philadelphia to spread Huff’s cap hit over two seasons.
  • Huff struggled in 2024, totaling just 2.5 sacks and 13 tackles in 12 games before being a healthy scratch for Super Bowl LIX.
  • In San Francisco, Huff will reunite with defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, who coached him to a career-high 10 sacks with the Jets in 2023.
