Bryce Huff’s breakout 2023 season with the New York Jets paid off in a big way for the undrafted edge rusher. 

Huff is reportedly joining the Philadelphia Eagles on a three-year deal worth $51.1 million when the new league year begins on March 13, ESPN reports. 

That deal makes Huff the highest-paid non-quarterback undrafted free agent in NFL history, and he’s well deserved of his payday after what transpired on a loaded Jets defensive line last season.

Huff’s deal with the Eagles is also interesting for GM Howie Roseman’s potential trades with Josh Sweat and Haasan Reddick, who have drawn interest recently. With Huff in place, it’s more likely now that one of those veteran edge rushers will be on the move this offseason. 

Huff was an undrafted free agent coming out of Memphis in 2020, and the Jets helped him develop into one of the league’s most effective pass rushers last season.

"The memories I made in MetLife and in the city of New York will be cherished forever," Huff said in an X post. "The constant words of encouragement from fans from the day I signed as an undrafted free agent to my last snap as a Jet kept me going through the good and bad times."
