Vic Fangio - English
The Philadelphia Eagles rode their defense to the Super Bowl. While Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith provided offensive fireworks, it was the defense that secured victories. However, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s unit now faces an unexpected problem heading into the 2025 NFL season: the absence of linebacker Bryce Huff.
The highly sought-after edge rusher joined the Eagles in 2024 after leaving the New York Jets, signing a three-year, $51.1 million contract with $16.8 million guaranteed. However, Huff has failed to meet expectations. In 12 games with the team, he recorded just 2.5 sacks and 12 tackles-only four of them solo.
Disappointed with Huff’s performance, Fangio acknowledged that the player’s future with the team depends on significant improvement.
“I think he has the talent to do what we want him to do, so it will be a work in progress,” Fangio told Tyrone Johnson of 97.5 Fanatic Philadelphia.
Where is Bryce Huff?
Fangio’s words appear to have hit home. Reports from team facilities indicate that Huff will skip all voluntary work with the Eagles, including the organized team activities (OTAs), which are now in full swing.
The Eagles kicked off their OTAs on May 27-28, with additional voluntary sessions scheduled for May 30 and June 2, 3, and 5. The unfolding Huff saga will reach its climax on June 10, when the first mandatory minicamp takes place.
Adding further intrigue, insider Jeff McLane stated, “Huff is unlikely to be part of the Eagles’ plans for 2025.”
If head coach Nick Sirianni chooses to trade Huff and free up cap space, they will need to wait until June 1-when they could seek a team desperate for an edge rusher willing to absorb Huff’s contract.
Potential landing spots for Huff
If Huff’s departure from Philadelphia becomes inevitable, the Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, and Arizona Cardinals all have room for a competent pass rusher. Despite his underwhelming stint with the Eagles, Huff showed promise with the Jets, racking up 17.5 sacks and 55 tackles in 54 games.
While nothing is set in stone, signs suggest that Bryce Huff’s days in midnight green may be numbered. The Eagles may not regret losing him, but for a team poised to defend its championship, offseason roster drama is never an ideal start.

David Montgomery Carries Childhood Pain as He Returns Home For Lions-Bengals
David Montgomery will return home when the Lions face the Bengals in Cincinnati on Sunday. While the trip might remind him of some painful childhood memories, it'll also serve as a reminder of why the Lions running back is doing what he does.In an interview with FOX Sports' Tom Rinaldi, Montgomery opened up about his rough childhood experience in Cincinnati, which included moving to multiple homes and sleeping through cold nights. "My mom, she's a soldier," Montgomery said. "She worked double, triple shifts sometimes. But it was just never enough. There were nights where we didn't eat. There were times where the heat and stuff went off. We just turned the oven on as hot as we could. Sometimes, my brothers and I would take baths where we would be out of heat and we would just boil the water." ADVERTISEMENT […]
Hamilton given Singapore GP penalty as Alonso hits out at Ferrari driver
Lewis Hamilton has been given a five-second time penalty which demotes him to eighth behind Fernando Alonso at the Singapore Grand Prix.Hamilton exceeded track limits "multiple" times during the last laps of the Singapore Grand Prix after his front brakes failed and he tried to nurse his car home to the anger of Alonso. In a foul-mouthed radio rant, Alonso said: "I cannot f****** believe it. I mean, I cannot f****** believe it. I cannot f****** believe it. Is it safe to drive with no brakes?"For me, you cannot drive when the car is unsafe. Sometimes they try to disqualify me with no mirror, and now you have no brakes and everything is fine? I doubt it."Hamilton just held off Alonso by four tenths but his five-second time penalty put him behind the Aston Martin driver, whose seventh place is […]

After Tough Game 1 Loss, the Mariners Now Face the Cy Young Frontrunner
<!--> [--> Rowan Kavner MLB Writer <!--> --> SEATTLE – The Mariners had already waited 8,755 days since their last home postseason win. Now, that wait will last at least one day longer. This time, unlike their last opportunity to win a playoff game at T-Mobile Park three years ago, they managed to scratch a couple runs across. This time, the extra-inning affair only went 11 innings; it didn’t go 18. This time, it started the American League Division Series; it didn’t finish it. The Mariners still have a chance to make amends. But in their first home playoff game since a gutting marathon loss against the Astros ended their season three years ago, they were again left to wonder what could have been in a 3-2 defeat to start the ALDS. On Saturday night, the Tigers outscored, outmaneuvered and outlasted the Mariners, who remain […]
Bengals Have Cooled Tensions, Shouldn’t Look to Add a QB at Deadline
The Cincinnati Bengals' season was derailed in Week 2 when Joe Burrow got hurt, and most people would say they need to upgrade from backup quarterback Jake Browning.Julian Edelman says that's not the case.On "FOX NFL Kickoff," Edelman said Browning has shown that he's capable of enough success to start the rest of the season. He also noted that no quarterback is going to come in the middle of the season and build a good rapport with the playmakers around him quickly enough to make a big impact."I would not," Edelman said of trading for a new starting quarterback. "Browning shows that he's had success. He went 4-3 a couple of years ago when Joe Burrow got hurt then. He's been in this system. You're not going to bring anyone in that's going to know these players like Browning immediately […]
Rodina slavila všech šest gólů, smál se Darida po návratu do Plzně
Už ve 12. minutě Darida napřáhl ke střele, kterou vyrazil Martin Jedlička. Ondřej Mihálik pak z dorážky poprvé v utkání rozvlnil síť. Podruhé bývalý kapitán národního týmu sám přihrál na gól Václavu Pilařovi, který zvyšoval na 2:1. O obě trefy se postarali hráči, kteří na západě Čech zanechali výraznou stopu.Nemrzí vás, že jste nedotáhli zápas do vítězného konce?Těžko se mi to hodnotí. Bylo to opravdu bláznivé utkání. Dvakrát jsme vedli, sahali jsme po třech bodech a náš výkon byl velmi dobrý. Ke konci ale Plzeň skóre otočila. Našli jsme však v sobě sílu odvézt si alespoň bod, který s pokorou bereme. Má pro nás velkou cenu a věřím, že nám zase dodá sebevědomí.Vy jste ale divoký závěr musel sledovat jen z lavičky.Nebylo to nic příjemného, když jsem viděl, jak Plzeň otočila vývoj. O to víc si cením, že se kluci nevzdali a bojovali až do konce. Obrovský dík patří Kučerovi, který to […]
