A person familiar with the situation said Friday the two sides agreed to the trade after Huff revised his contract. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade can't be completed until after June 1 because of salary cap ramifications for the Eagles.
ESPN first reported that the teams were finalizing the deal for a Day 3 draft pick. Huff was set to make $17 million in fully guaranteed money this year and now the Eagles will pay $9.05 million of that with the 49ers on the hook for the remaining $7.95 million, according to ESPN.

Huff was originally an undrafted free agent by the Jets in 2020 out of Memphis. He had 7 1/2 sacks in his first three seasons before the breakthrough campaign under Saleh in 2023.
The Niners were in need of another pass rusher after cutting Leonard Floyd early in the offseason. They drafted Mykel Williams 11th overall in April but had no other defensive end who had a season with at least five sacks in the NFL.
