As free agency is in full swing, the Philadelphia Eagles are open to trade 2024 free agent signing Bryce Huff this offseason. According to sources, despite winning the Super Bowl, the defending champions want to part ways with the pass rusher after a disappointing 2024 campaign. Huff’s signing was probably the only questionable signing since he hasn’t been able to produce high numbers on the roster but part of which wasn’t his fault, the defensive rotation was too deep for him. FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz believes the team is willing to trade Huff while they could grab something in return.
Originally selected as an undrafted rookie, the former Memphis product quickly became one of the best defensive pass rushers in the league despite suffering several injuries in just five seasons. Huff is a reliable rotational “trenches” type of guy who can get after the quarterback, but that’s only if he can stay healthy, which was another issue with his level of play with the Eagles. After being ineffective with Vic Fangio’s defense, the former New York Jet just tallied 2.5 sacks in Philadelphia while he put up 10 sacks the prior season with the Jets. Huff received several interest from suitors last year but this time around could be different since the Eagles are unlikely to find any trade candidates due to his play last season.

Next Possible Teams
Baltimore Ravens
Since the last offseason, the Baltimore Ravens pass rush hasn’t been the same since after losing veteran Jadeveon Clowney. While Trenton Simpson has a bright future, it hasn’t been explosive or replicated Clowney’s impact. Nnamdi Madubuike needs more help on the defensive front and he can’t stabilize this pass rush alone trying to create openings for Roquan Smith and Kyle Van Noy. Huff is more than capable of creating some disruption in the opposing offensive line as long as Baltimore uses him as a starter.
Los Angeles Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers retained Khalil Mack but they couldn’t do that with Poona Ford despite having a promising campaign last season. However, the good news is they’re getting Teair Tart back on a bargain again but they could use a replacement for Joey Bosa who they’ve cut due to injury and salary concerns. Huff should be the perfect man for this position as long as he avoids being Bosa 2.0 and can provide relief in the postseason.
Carolina Panthers
For Derrick Brown’s return from injury, the Carolina Panthers have been doing phenomenal building a capable defense. Last offseason, it was all about offense but head coach Dave Canales knew one side couldn’t win it all. Tershawn Wharton is an underrated talent who’s going to be built into a homegrown talent but they could someone like Huff to salvage the trenches.
Kansas City Chiefs
It’s difficult to dissect what might happen with free agent Charles Omenihu as he’s still on the market. However, after signing defensive tackle Jerry Tillery, it seems like the team is beating around the bush. Even though it’s depth for star Chris Jones, the team might as well look into a significant upgrade like Huff only if becomes available via free agency.
Dallas Cowboys
After losing Demarcus Lawrence, the team made a few solid moves trading for Kenneth Murray Jr. and signing Jack Sanborn. These two have a high-ceiling but there’s yet to be any indication of Micah Parsons signing a long-term deal. He should be back but the team could use a capable upgrade like Huff to give the Cowboys enough firepower on defense.
