Not long ago, the New England Patriots were dominating the NFL, with other teams trying to replicate their success. Now, after a disappointing 4-13 season in 2024, the Patriots are focused on rebuilding a roster that’s severely lacking in talent. Their biggest move so far has been signing former Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams to a four-year, $104 million contract. Williams, part of the Eagles’ dominant defensive line, is expected to help restore a winning culture in New England, even if his deal might be considered an overpay.
But what if Williams isn’t the only former Eagles defender headed to New England in 2025?
Matthew Sullivan of Athlon proposed a trade idea that could bring Eagles defensive end Bryce Huff to the Patriots for a seventh-round pick. Huff, who was a healthy scratch during the Super Bowl, could be an affordable option for the Patriots, who still have significant cap space. Despite a lackluster performance in Philadelphia—after a strong season with the New York Jets—Huff’s potential upside could be worth taking a risk on. With Philadelphia potentially looking to offload his contract, this might be an opportunity for New England to strengthen its front seven without breaking the bank.
