00:00one year after the philadelphia eagles traded a disgruntled pass rusher they find themselves in
00:05otas with another disgruntled pass rush i'm kyle krabs with a to z sports and part of the philadelphia
00:15eagles solution last year with moving on from hassan reddick was to sign bryce huff the designated
00:22pass rusher from the new york jets to a three-year 51 million dollar contract last year didn't
00:29necessarily go well as bryce huff suffered a wrist injury in the pregame to one of the eagles games
00:34had an injured reserve stint and was a healthy scratch for the eagles in the super bowl while
00:39posting two and a half sacks on the season and nearly 17 million dollars in cash received as if
00:46the cash and lack of production didn't hurt enough huff played less than 300 snaps on the season for
00:51philadelphia and now has not been present at all for philadelphia's offseason workouts and now this week
00:59ota's which leaves the eagles in a very trying spot reports out of the philadelphia inquire with jeff
01:05mclean suggests that huff may not be in the eagles plans at all in 2025 but this is the downside to how
01:14howie roseman has operated and structured some of his contracts bryce huff is scheduled for another 17
01:20million dollars in compensation this season and it's fully guaranteed which means any team that trades for
01:28bryce huff is going to have to sign up for a 17 million dollar price tag unless the eagles pay down
01:34some or all of that cash that he's owed this season and the way that the cash is structured
01:41is it's owed in the form of an option bonus which means it's spread out automatically
01:46in equal installments against the next five years of salary cap so there's a big time deferred element
01:52to huff's implied cost as well ironically enough a player that the eagles have added this year to
01:59their pass rush room underscores just how hard it might be for the eagles to move bryce huff coming
02:05off of the season that he just had the new england patriots last year had josh uche playing on a one
02:10year three million dollar contract and they traded him in season to the kansas city chiefs for a 2026
02:18sixth round pick and that's with uche who has similar strengths as a designated pass rusher who
02:23doesn't necessarily play the run all that well earning nearly one-sixth of what bryce huff is
02:29scheduled to receive in fully guaranteed salary this season now howie roseman doesn't miss much and when
02:36you're the reigning super bowl champions there's not a lot that's gonna hurt you even if it does hit
02:41you in the wallet but this move for philadelphia is one that the eagles i think are gonna have an
02:46incredibly difficult time getting out of unless they're willing to simply figure it out with
02:52huff in 2025 or pay him the guaranteed salary that he's owed to simply go away
