Bryce Huff Exposes Locker Room Chaos at Eagles, Claims They'll Never Win Super Bowl This Year

Philadelphia, PA – June 3, 2025

In a stunning turn of events, former Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Bryce Huff, recently traded to the San Francisco 49ers, has unleashed a scathing critique of his former team, igniting controversy just days after his departure. Sources close to the situation told ESPN that Huff, speaking on a podcast with NFL Network, claimed internal locker room dysfunction will prevent the Eagles, the reigning Super Bowl LIX champions, from ever winning another Super Bowl. The remarks have heightened tensions as the Eagles prepare for their 2025 season and a potential playoff rematch with the 49ers.

Huff, who signed a three-year, $51.1 million contract with the Eagles in March 2024 after a breakout 10-sack season with the New York Jets, was traded to the 49ers on May 31, 2025, for a 2026 mid-round draft pick, pending a physical. His tenure in Philadelphia was marred by injuries, limited playing time, and an apparent mismatch with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s scheme, culminating in his inactivity during the Eagles’ Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

In the podcast, Huff didn’t mince words, pointing to what he described as deep-seated issues within the Eagles’ locker room. He suggested that his presence was undervalued and that the team lacks the unity needed to sustain championship success, taking a direct shot at the leadership of quarterback Jalen Hurts and head coach Nick Sirianni.

“WITHOUT ME, THAT DEFENSE WOULDN’T HAVE HELD UP IN CRUNCH TIME,” Huff claimed. “The Eagles’ locker room is a circus—they’ll never win another Super Bowl with that kind of chaos.”

Huff’s comments come on the heels of a 2024 season where the Eagles defied expectations, finishing with a 14-3 record and dominating the Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX, thanks to a top-ranked defense led by Fangio, despite Huff’s limited contribution of 2.5 sacks in 12 games. His absence from OTAs and reported frustration with his role in Philadelphia signaled a brewing rift, which culminated in his trade to San Francisco, where he’ll reunite with former Jets coach Robert Saleh, now the 49ers’ defensive coordinator.

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman responded to Huff’s remarks, defending the team’s culture. “We’re a tight-knit group focused on defending our title in 2025,” Roseman told The Philadelphia Inquirer. “Bryce is entitled to his perspective, but we’re proud of what we’ve built here.” Head coach Nick Sirianni echoed this sentiment, saying, “Our locker room is stronger than ever. We let our play do the talking.”

Despite Huff’s critique, the Eagles remain formidable contenders. With Hurts’ 4,789 passing yards and 38 touchdowns in 2024, complemented by Saquon Barkley’s 1,567 rushing yards, Philadelphia’s offense is a juggernaut. The defense, now featuring young edge rushers Nolan Smith Jr. and Jalyx Hunt, along with free-agent additions Azeez Ojulari and Josh Uche, is poised to fill the void left by Huff, Josh Sweat (who signed with the Cardinals), and the retired Brandon Graham.

Huff’s remarks have stirred a firestorm among Eagles fans, known for their passionate loyalty. On X, reactions range from outrage to defiance, with one user posting, “Huff barely played and now he’s talking trash? Good riddance!” Another wrote, “Bryce is just salty he couldn’t cut it in Philly. This team’s got another ring coming!” The controversy could either disrupt the Eagles’ focus or galvanize them as they kick off their 2025 campaign with a Week 1 showdown against the Green Bay Packers, followed by a highly anticipated matchup against the 49ers, where Huff will aim to back up his words on the field.

As the Eagles look to repeat as champions, Huff’s accusations cast a shadow over their preparations. Whether his claims of locker room turmoil hold any weight or serve as mere sour grapes from a disgruntled former player remains to be seen. For now, Philadelphia’s faithful are rallying behind their team, determined to prove Huff wrong and chase another Super Bowl title in 2025.
