The Jets suffered a significant blow to their defense at the start of free agency on Monday. Edge rusher Bryce Huff, who led the team in sacks last season, has reportedly agreed to a three-year, $51.1 million contract with the Eagles, as confirmed by a source. This deal averages $17 million per season and could potentially reach up to $20,033 million per year, as per the NFL Network.
The Jets had been anticipating Huff’s departure for some time, recognizing that his asking price might exceed their limits. Nevertheless, losing him hits hard for the Jets, especially considering they signed him as an undrafted free agent from Memphis in 2020.
Huff’s stellar performance last season, where he achieved a career-high 10 sacks, significantly increased his value in a league where quality pass rushers are in high demand. At just 25 years old, it will be intriguing to observe what role he will assume with the Eagles.
