The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> have made many moves this offseason, but only three of their transactions since the end of their 2024 campaign have been trades.<\/p>\n

The first sent wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders<\/a> for a fifth-round pick that the 49ers<\/a> ended up using on Oregon running back Jordan James. The second gave running back Jordan Mason and a 2025 sixth-round pick (No. 187) to the Minnesota Vikings<\/a> for a 2025 fifth-round pick (used on Kansas State<\/a> safety Marques Sigle) and a 2026 sixth-round selection.<\/p>\n

San Francisco’s third and final trade of the offseason thus far came after the draft, when they traded a conditional 2026 fifth-round pick (could become a fourth) to the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> for edge rusher Bryce Huff.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, CBS Sports’ Jeff Kerr ranked the 12 best trades of the offseason, and the 49ers acquiring Huff came in at No. 10.<\/p>\n

“Huff was a disaster with the Eagles last season, not even being active for their Super Bowl LIX victory over the Chiefs,”\u00a0Kerr wrote<\/a>. “The Eagles moved on from Huff during minicamp, sending him to San Francisco and reuniting him with defensive coordinator Robert Saleh — in a defense where he had one of the highest pass-rushing rates in the league as a pass-rushing specialist.”<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the New York Jets<\/a> in 2020 following a collegiate career at Memphis, where he earned All-AAC honors twice.<\/p>\n

Huff appeared in 54 games for New York over four seasons, recording 65 tackles (17 for a loss), 43 quarterback hits, 17.5 sacks, three passes defensed and one forced fumble.<\/p>\n

Last offseason, he signed a three-year $51.1 million deal with the Eagles. However, he suffered a torn ligament in his wrist, which cost him five games in the regular season. He finished the year with just 13 tackles (three for a loss), four quarterback hits, 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble.<\/p>\n

With the 49ers, Huff has a $7.95 million cap hit in 2025 and is expected to be in the mix for a top edge rushing role alongside Nick Bosa and 2025 first-round pick Mykel Williams.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Kerr ranked Samuel’s trade to the Commanders one spot ahead of the Huff trade at No. 9.<\/p>\n
