Ex-Eagles Bust Fires Back at Critics, Defends Philly’s Elite Status

Philadelphia, PA – June 30, 2025

A former Eagle is standing tall! Traded to the 49ers after a tough 2024, the ex-Philly pass rusher slammed critics doubting the Super Bowl LIX champs, sources told ESPN.

Signed in 2024, this defender faced harsh “bust” labels. His lackluster season sparked scrutiny, but his fierce loyalty to Philly’s legacy reignites Eagles Nation’s pride.

Bryce Huff fired back: “Only people who haven’t played in Philly—or don’t understand football—would say the Eagles aren’t one of the top teams in the league.”

Huff’s $51.1 million deal yielded 2.5 sacks in 12 games, missing five due to wrist surgery. Traded for a 2026 conditional fifth-round pick, he left Philly’s title run.

Now with San Francisco, Huff reunites with Robert Saleh, his Jets coach during a 10-sack 2023. X posts from @49ers laud his potential to rebound.

The Eagles, FanDuel’s 2025 favorites, lean on Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt post-Huff. His defense of Philly’s elite status fuels Super Bowl LX dreams.

Despite his struggles, Huff’s grit earned respect. Fans on X, like @EaglesNation, hope he thrives, but Philly’s focus remains on its young, hungry core.

As training camp looms, Huff’s words echo in Philly. Will the Eagles silence doubters again? The city’s primed for another championship soar.
