The San Francisco 49ers are looking to get back to the Super Bowl after they missed the playoffs entirely last season in what ended up being an injury-plagued season. One way to get back to the Super Bowl is by adding players who know what it takes to get to the top of the mountaintop.
Which is why the 49ers’ latest move makes a lot of sense for an organization looking to get back to the top of the NFC.
“Eagles now have agreed to trade DE Bryce Huff to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2026 mid-round draft pick, pending a physical,” reported ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday evening.
Fans reacted to the offseason shakeup on social media.
“I am literally a fan of both teams. Born niner fan. Eagles season ticket holder in eighties/nineties. Now Niner season ticket holder since 2006. I love them both like children. Howie a better GM than Lynch. But Howie blew Huff signing; Niners take advantage!” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Issue isnt the 49ers adding Huff, it’s that they reportedly will move Mykel Williams inside on passing downs to accommodate it. His film rushing from inside was MUCH worse than on the outside,” someone else added.
“Good trade for both sides I think, he was overpaid and out of the rotation here, so he’s off the Eagles books mostly(can’t believe Howie actually did it), and Saleh must like him, so a mid round pick isn’t too bad as long as the DC thinks he can make it work,” another person added.
It’ll be interesting to see how Huff fits into the Niners’ scheme.
