Edge rusher Bryce Huff had struggled during his first three games with the team. The Eagles are preaching patience.
PHILADELPHIA - Aware that Haason Reddick wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of playing out the final year of his contract and wanted to be paid at the top of the edge-rushing market, the Eagles went a different route by signing the younger Bryce Huff to a three-year, $51 million contract before then dealing the proven Reddick to Huff's former team, the New York Jets, for a 2026 conditional third-round pick.
Huff has played 80 defensive snaps for the Eagles -- 26.7 per game -- and recorded 1 tackle. Things are also trending downward. In the Eagles' Week 3 win in New Orleans, Huff was relegated to situational pass-rushing work over 18 snaps. What hooked me was Cimini's thoughts on a player who he saw produce with the Jets, albeit in a limited role.
There's some truth to those sentiments, albeit not all the blame can go to the Eagles and the player himself has to own some of it. The problem in the stunted development of Huff's run-support growth in a more read-and-reactionary scheme vs. the one Huff excelled in with the Jets has also derailed the one trick Huff had already proved he could do at the NFL level.
