The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the hottest teams in the league right now. They own an 8-2 record and have won six straight games. They are fresh off a 26-18 win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football.

The entire organization and fanbase are thrilled about what is left to come this season, but the speculation about the offseason is in full swing.

ESPN's Dan Graziano released an article discussing possible cut and trade candidates. He had Bryce Huff on that list as someone who the Eagles could move on from this offseason.

In that piece, Graziano believes that the Eagles could use Bryce Huff as a trade piece.

"Huff played just 12% of their defensive snaps in Week 9, 20% in Week 10 and 22% in Week 11 (after averaging 44% over the first eight weeks). He has 2.5 sacks, 14 pressures and four quarterback hits, and he seems to be a lesser part of the pass-rush rotation than the Eagles hoped he would be when they signed him. Now, he also has $16.75 million in guaranteed money coming in 2025, so the Eagles aren't likely to cut him. Instead, he's on here because, at age 26, he could be an appealing trade target for a team looking for edge rush help that thinks he'd fit better with them than he does in Philly."

Huff came over this offseason on a massive three-year, $51.1 million deal. There were hopes that he would be an effective difference-maker off the EDGE but it's been the opposite.

Even though things haven't worked out in Philly, they could use him as a trade piece. Teams in the NFL are always looking for young pass rushers and Huff fits the bill. It looks like this signing was a miss but Philadelphia will have a chance to recoup some draft picks in exchange for Huff.
