Overview

  • The Eagles will send Huff to the 49ers for a mid-round draft pick, with the trade to become official after June 1 under NFL salary-cap rules.
  • Huff agreed to restructure his three-year, $51.1 million contract so Philadelphia absorbs $9.05 million of his 2025 salary while San Francisco covers the remaining $7.95 million.
  • Philadelphia expects to free roughly $15 million in 2025 cap space by engineering the salary split and moving on from the underperforming edge rusher.
  • Huff recorded just 2.5 sacks and 13 tackles in 12 games for Philadelphia in 2024, including an inactive designation for Super Bowl LIX.
  • In San Francisco Huff will reunite with defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and bolster a revamped defensive front alongside Nick Bosa and recent draft picks.
