Philadelphia Eagles
· 2026-06-29
The Philadelphia Eagles' brief experiment with pass rusher Bryce Huff ended after just 12 games, with Huff now blaming defensive coordinator Vic Fangio for his struggles.
Huff was signed to a three-year deal in 2024 but injuries limited his playing time, and he wasn't active when the Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice acknowledges that Huff wasn't used optimally but argues that Fangio was right to identify Huff as a flawed player.
Kempski notes that Huff's effort was also a major issue, with the pass rusher being deemed "unplayable" after just two games.
The Eagles are currently 12th in the American Football Conference with a 6-11 record and are on a six-game losing streak.
The Eagles will look to turn their season around when they face the Washington Commanders on September 13, 2026.
Huff's tenure with the Eagles will be remembered as a what-if, with the pass rusher putting up just 13 tackles, four quarterback hits, and 2.5 sacks during his brief time with the team.
The Eagles' defense will need to improve if they hope to make a push for the playoffs, and Fangio's scheme will be a key factor in their success.
And with the team's next game just over two months away, the Eagles will need to use the offseason to regroup and refocus.
But for now, the Eagles are left to wonder what could have been if Huff had lived up to his potential.
So the Eagles will move forward without Huff, who retired after just one season with the San Francisco 49ers.
