Bryce Huff is no longer an Eagle. Philadelphia traded the edge rusher to the 49ers in exchange for a mid-round draft pick, pending a physical to finalize the deal.
Huff arrived in Philly with high expectations after g a three-year, $51 million free-agent contract. But his stint was short and underwhelming. He played in just 12 games, underwent wrist surgery, and was inactive for Super Bowl LIX. He finished with 2.5 sacks, 13 tackles, and played only 37% of defensive snaps.
Brandon Graham hangs up his cleats
On Monday, the team also made official the retirement of longtime defensive end Brandon Graham, who was placed on the reserve/retired list. Though he previously said he was "90% retired," the remaining 10% is now history.
Graham leaves behind a legendary legacy, including one of the most iconic plays in Super Bowl history-his strip sack of Tom Brady in Super Bowl LII, helping seal the Eagles' 41-33 win over the Patriots. He played 206 games (a franchise record), totaled 76.5 sacks, 487 tackles, and 153 QB hits.
Ron Darby s the farewell tour
The day of farewells continued as another Super Bowl LII champion, cornerback Ron Darby, announced his retirement after a 10-year career. He ed the Eagles in 2017 via a trade with the Bills that sent Jordan Matthews and a third-round pick to Buffalo.
Darby played 27 games over three seasons with Philadelphia, recorded six interceptions, and started in the Super Bowl-winning secondary alongside Graham.
Unlike the Eagles' planned exits, the Detroit Lions were caught off guard when starting center Frank Ragnow announced his retirement at just 29 years old.
Detroit and Philadelphia were widely regarded as having the NFL's top offensive lines. While the Eagles had long prepared for Jason Kelce's eventual retirement by drafting Cam Jurgens-now a Pro Bowl center-Detroit may have to rely on rookie Tate Ratledge to fill the void. Replacing Ragnow will be no easy task.
