I say trading him is the best option. They probably keep him and hope he can improve next year? But I mean Fangio clearly doesn’t rate him so any cap savings would be good.

His opinion was rushing the passer was a unique gift but playing the run was purely effort driven and mostly any DE could do it if they just put the effort in. Guys like Huff that don't care about setting an edge or playing the run just happily watch the RB go right by as they mindlessly rush the QB. It's all he wants to do. He most likely thinks he made it after that contract and he's above it. Like Asante Samuel with the "they pay me to cover" (something like that) He must have drove Vic crazy. Vic brought the one thing they lacked the prior season. Accountability. He made an example out of him. An expensive one. Huff is in a dog house he's most likely not getting out of unless he has a come to Jesus moment and he goes to Vic's office and asks what he can do to make it right for next season.
February 11Feb 11 Sure we all hoped for more but I’m not convinced we win the Super Bowl without signing Huff
February 11Feb 11 He was as bad as it gets this year. But they don’t need him to start anymore. Nolan Smith has that locked down. I don’t understand why he was invisible and unused after he came back from IR. One would expect him to be a really good part time rotational pass rusher. And next year, that’s really all we’d need from him. Before we trade him for a bag of nerf footballs, I’d consider that maybe he’ll actually be useful to us next year.

Might as well release or trade him. I don’t think he can make it back here.

Yep this take seems spot on. I've been saying all along he is in Vic's doghouse and that is why he isn't seeing the field.

He either uses this experience as motivation to earn his way into the rotation or he checks out. The reality is that we really need him to be at least playable next season as a situational pass rusher. There's no reason he can't play the same role here that he played for the Jets.
February 12Feb 12 Sirianni has brought this team to where it is through competition. So far Huff hasn't worked out (based on his contract) and the same thing happened with Devin White. But in both cases, the competition at the position brought out the best in Nolan Smith and Nakobe Dean. Similarly, bringing back Maddox was good for DeJean. At this time, I don't know what to expect from Huff. I think there's a lot of conjecture because there's always somebody, it seems, fans need to turn on. He's the best candidate for that right now --- certainly the easiest to choose based on his contract. Huff doesn't really have a fiery personality and it's hard to really get a feel for his personal motivation. I didn't think he was all bad --- just highly overpaid.
February 13Feb 13 Super Bowl Champion Bryce Huff to Atlanta for a couple 7ths. https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/bryce-huff-nfl-trade-rumors-eagles-falcons-offseason-news Do it Howie.
March 15Mar 15 We will trade Huff to a team that will take on the most of his 17 mil annual contract. I'd be thrilled if we only had to pay 1/2 of that but i imagine more.

He has contributed for the team over several seasons. But injuries have caught up with him and would get worse as he ages. Love to have him around, but need to think about the future.

That is without using a post June 1 designation as I believe we are limited to 2 of those in a given year and we used them both on Bradberry and Slay.
March 16Mar 16 I don't know why people live in perpetual fear about injuries. Goedert missed 6 games last season due to injuries and rested the season finale. Did he not make up for those missed games with his 4 postseason games and contribution? Goedert has had dings every year, including two unavoidable freak injuries caused by illegal tackles. Nobody ever talks about how fast he returns, though. It's kind of weird. Injuries will happen. Give me more people like Goedert that bounce back quickly and don't lose confidence when they return.

I was hoping he’d play out the final year of his contract here while we draft his eventual successor next month to learn from him for a year. Same with Slay. I guess Howie is thinking better to try to get another draft pick (not that we need more than 12 draft picks but it does gives us flexibility to maneuver around the board to grab players we target more easily or to use to trade for players that fit what we’re trying to build) because we’re taking that hit to the cap one way one other so let’s just bite the bullet now.

I don’t know if it’s just the player or if Fangio doesn’t believe in him, but I don’t think he’s getting out of that doghouse anytime soon.
