Eagles to sign edge rusher Bryce Huff to a 3-year, $51 million deal

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing former New York Jets pass rusher Bryce Huff to a three-year, $51 million deal

The Eagles just landed one of the top pass rushers on the open market, agreeing to a three-year, $51 million deal with Bryce Huff.

At 25 years old, Huff has increased his sack production in seasons, jumping from 3.5 sacks in 2022 to 10.0 this past season.

More of a situational pass rusher than a true defensive end or SAM linebacker, Huff played in just 42 percent of the Jets’ defensive snaps, as he was used solely in pass-rushing situations.

Philadelphia has second-year linebacker Nolan Smith on the roster, and the team has given Haason Reddick and Josh Sweat permission to seek a trade.

Eagles have spent the 4th most NFL draft capital on WR position in last decade

Eagles have spent the 4th most NFL draft capital on WR position in the last decade

As the Eagles prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft, all eyes are on Howie Roseman and what he’ll likely do with the 12th overall pick.

Philadelphia has been linked to the top wide receivers in the draft with the growing narrative that the Eagles general manager can’t blow another opportunity to add a game-changing skill player.

Brad Spielberger of Pro Football Focus unveiled a revealing stat that shows just how inept Philadelphia has been at evaluating the wide receiver position.

Over the past decade, Philadelphia has spent the fourth most draft capital on the wide receiver position.

The impact from that haul can be debated and we break down the Eagles draft picks from the last decade.

NFL Draft 2020: List of every WR drafted by the Eagles under GM Howie Roseman

List of every Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver drafted under Howie Roseman

The Philadelphia Eagles are just hours from being on the NFL draft clock and Howie Roseman will have a huge decision to make on the personnel front.

Roseman will indeed target wide receivers with his eight picks, but the questions and concerns center around who and when.

Roseman is known for being an active participant on draft night and his perfection with the salary cap is second to none. It’s Roseman’s player analysis and penchant for missing on players that have some Eagles fans nervous.

The Eagles have drafted eight wide receivers since Roseman became the Eagles general manager in 2010. Only Riley Cooper and Nelson Agholor can be deemed anything close to being successful.

With the Eagles not guaranteed a shot at the big four of Jeudy, Lamb, Ruggs, and Jefferson, it’ll be even more pertinent for Roseman to make the correct decision on wide receivers in the draft.

With Roseman set to be on the clock, here’s a list of the previous wide receivers drafted under Howie as GM.

2010.

Riley Cooper, Florida, Round-5, Pick 159 overall

Most known for his comments at a Kenny Chesney concert, the former Florida Gators star was the first wideout drafted under Roseman.

Cooper spent six seasons with the Eagles, catching 169 balls in 88 total games, for 2,418 yards, and 18 career touchdowns.

His best season came in 2013 when Cooper caught 47 balls for 837 yards and 8 touchdowns.
