The Philadelphia Eagles are receiving trade inquiries for defensive end Josh Sweat, who may depart with Haason Reddick. Howie Roseman is considering remaking the defense with potential trades involving Sweat and Reddick. Bryce Huff's signing hints at Sweat or Reddick's likely departure. Huff led the NFL in pressure rate and is seen as an ascending player. The Eagles are reshaping their edge rusher room, indicating the eventual departure of Sweat and/or Reddick.
Bryce Huff leaving Jets to become latest Eagles edge is good news for AFC East. Last year Huff collected 10 sacks — 2 against the Dolphins and 2 against the Patriots for his highest totals against all teams. Huff had 1.5 sacks vs. Eagles which obviously got their attention.
I love this signing for the Eagles, but I'd love it a lot more if Bryce Huff and Haason Reddick were going to be an edge-rushing tandem next season. That would be one heck of an outside pass rush. Of course, Reddick was given permission to seek a trade, so ... https://t.co/61diA84dsR
Bryce Huff led the NFL with a 21.8% pressure rate last season (min. 250 pass rushes). Huff also led the NFL in pressure rate in 2022, generating pressure on 25.6% of his pass rushes (min. 150 pass rushes). #FlyEaglesFly https://t.co/9XGyln6NvX https://t.co/cLi5S1w7zY
The Bryce Huff move almost solidifies that either Haason Reddick or Josh Sweat will not be returning to the #Eagles.. Who would you rather keep?
Had Huff as "buyer beware" on recent pod. Coming off a great season (10 sacks, 21 QBH). Concerns: 7.5 sacks/22 QBH in first 3 seasons. Played just 42% of the snaps in '23 (never played more than 51%). Eagles make big bet that he can handle bigger role, is an ascending player.
A lot to unpack here Huff was elite in a designated pass rush role for the Jets for the last few years. Good enough to return value on this deal even if the Eagles keep Sweat + Reddick. But, given the timing and the size, have to imagine one of Reddick + Sweat is gone. https://t.co/fjLoJYG9nk
