San Francisco, CA – July 6, 2025
The NFC just got a little more personal.
A former Eagles edge rusher broke his silence this week — and what he said sent shockwaves through two coasts. His words weren’t measured. They were fire. And aimed straight back at the team that let him walk.
“They used me. Then they moved on like I was replaceable,” he said in a new interview with The Pivot Podcast. “So I signed with the team they fear most. Every sack this year? It’s personal.”
His name? Bryce Huff — and the target of his fury is Philadelphia.
After recording a career-high 11.5 sacks in 2024, Huff expected to be a centerpiece of the Eagles' pass rush. But when contract talks stalled and Philly chose to invest elsewhere, Huff made a decision that sent a message: join a rival, and make them regret it.
Now wearing red and gold, Huff inked a $42 million deal with the San Francisco 49ers this offseason. On paper, he’s a rotational pass rusher. But in the locker room? He’s something else entirely.
“Bryce is pissed off — and that’s exactly how we like him,” one 49ers coach told ESPN. “He’s not here to smile. He’s here to hunt.”
Replacing Clelin Ferrell on the depth chart, Huff brings explosiveness and fury to a defense already stacked with All-Pros like Nick Bosa and Fred Warner. But what separates Huff isn’t just talent — it’s fuel. His exit from Philadelphia wasn’t clean. And now, he’s got dates circled in red on the calendar.
The 49ers, who came inches short of a title in Super Bowl LIX, are hungry. They added Huff, extended Brandon Aiyuk, and cleared cap space for a playoff run. But no move this offseason came with more emotional firepower than this one.
Every snap. Every hit. Every sack. Huff made it clear: this isn’t just about football anymore.
