Jets' Bryce Huff Set for Major Pay Raise, Unlikely to Stay with Jets
Huff, who has made it clear he won't offer a 'hometown discount', is projected to sign a contract that pays him $9.2 million annually, potentially pricing him out of the Jets' budget.
- Bryce Huff, New York Jets' defensive lineman, is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2024 and has made it clear that he will not be offering a 'hometown discount' to the Jets.
- Huff has just completed his fourth professional season, registering 43 quarterback hits, over 65 tackles, and 17.5 sacks in his career, with 10 sacks in the latest season alone.
- Despite his success, Huff has only started seven games in his NFL career, mainly playing as a pass rush specialist on third downs, and has expressed a desire to be an 'every-down player'.
- Huff is projected to receive a significant pay raise this offseason, with Spotrac's calculated market value expecting him to sign a contract that pays him $9.2 million annually.
- The Jets, who are projected to have just over $16 million to work with in the offseason, may not be able to afford Huff's new contract, increasing the likelihood of him playing elsewhere next season.
