Super Bowl LIX Champion Philadelphia Eagles are working with the San Francisco 49ers to finalize a trade that will send edge rusher Bryce Huff to San Francisco for a midround pick, sources told ESPN.

According to sources, the trade cannot happen until after June 1. However, both sides are working to make it happen, and Huff already has reworked his contract to help facilitate the trade.

Huff will be reunited with 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh In San Francisco,, his former head coach with the Jets.

For the trade to be 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.
