Robert Saleh got the reunion he desired this week when the San Francisco 49ers sent a future Day 3 draft pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for pass rusher Bryce Huff.
Saleh, once again the 49ers’ defensive coordinator, previously oversaw Huff’s career-best season in 2023, when both were with the New York Jets. After what can only be described as a rough 2024 campaign in Philly, Huff is back with a DC he clearly values.
A wrist injury limited Huff to just 12 games, in which he managed only 2.5 sacks and 13 total tackles. Despite being on the roster for the Eagles’ Super Bowl 59 run, he was inactive for the title game, capping off a frustrating year.
After news of the trade broke, Huff took to Instagram to share a few pics in his story. One photo featured him sitting in Eagles gear giving the camera a peace sign. The second was an image of him celebrating a play clad in a Jets jersey.
