Bryce Huff thankful he landed with 49ers
Edge rusher Bryce Huff is happy to be back with 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh.
Huff had 10 sacks playing for Saleh in 2023 when Saleh was the head coach of the Jets and turned that into a three-year deal with the Eagles as a free agent. Huff was not able to replicate that success in Vic Fangio's defense and he dealt with an injury before being inactive for the team's Super Bowl win.
After a mutual agreement to have Huff stay away from the offseason program as both sides looked for a trade, the Eagles dealt Huff to the 49ers last month. On Wednesday, Huff said he had his eyes on a reunion throughout the process.
'I had a few places in mind that I definitely wanted to get traded to,' Huff said, via 95.7 The Game. 'All I was doing is just working out, staying in my routine. Thankfully, it was to San Francisco.'
Saleh said, via 49ersWebzone.com, that Huff brings 'speed off the edge' to the defense and that opposing coaches have to 'account for his presence on the field' while discussing why the team made the move for Huff. Those traits served Huff and Saleh well in their first run together and the coming months will show if the second time will be the charm as well.

Sauce Gardner Speaks Out On Jets' Contract Talks
Sauce Gardner Speaks Out On Jets' Contract Talks originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- It is common for players eligible for a long-term extension with their team to hold out of practice until a deal is reached. Advertisement That hasn't happened with the New York Jets and their young studs, though. All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner and wide receiver Garrett Wilson are eligible for long-term extensions this season. Both are key building blocks for the young Jets under head coach Aaron Glenn. Both were in attendance throughout offseason workouts. While stars around the league, such as Washington's Terry McLaurin, Cincinnati's Trey Hendrickson, and Pittsburgh's T.J. Watt, were all absent from mandatory minicamp, the Jets had their young stars in attendance. There was a reason for that, according to Gardner. "I want to win, I want to change the organization, and I want to be a part of changing the organization," Gardner said on Thursday. Advertisement New York has navigated this offseason with as few distractions as possible. This has allowed them to operate "in the shadows," as Glenn has previously coined it. The next step, though, is locking down their young talent. Both Gardner and Wilson sent a clear message with perfect attendance this offseason. They do not want to be distractions to the team; they just want to be paid their worth and be a part of the changing culture Glenn wants to build. By participating in offseason workouts, the two young stars have essentially operated in good faith that a deal will eventually be made this offseason. And it certainly sounds like that is going to happen.

Jets Receiver Picks Bad Time To Be In 'Catch-Up Mode'
Jets Receiver Picks Bad Time To Be In 'Catch-Up Mode' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One thing we know about Aaron Glenn's regime with the New York Jets is that he isn't mucking around - he means business in his first NFL offseason. Advertisement For rookies and veterans alike, everyone starts from square one as Glenn looks to mold this Jets team into one he thinks can win playing his way. And to do that, players who might be seen as being on the roster bubble have to perform, and for receiver Malachi Corley, he hasn't gotten off to the best of starts under the new management. Having already sat out considerable time at minicamp and prior, Corley is swimming against the tide to make an impression in a receiver room that has spots up for grabs. And receivers coach Shawn Jefferson had a true, yet pointed message to Malachi as training camp comes into focus next month. Advertisement "My old coach, Bill Parcells, used to say the first thing you need to be is you need to be available," Jefferson said via ESPN. "He's missed some time, and there's a learning curve here, so he's in catch-up mode right now." Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Catch-up mode isn't ideal. Yes, Corley only has one NFL season under his belt, but the third-round pick only had three receptions for 16 yards in nine games (one start) and played just 83 snaps on offense all season. Keep in mind that it was with a Jets offense that struggled to do anything right. So Corley has it all in front of him in 2025 if he is to make the impact that Glenn and coordinator Tanner Engstrand want. Advertisement But out of all the abilities Corley has, right now, he doesn't have the best one - availability.

Tom Brady Captures Another Title, Wins Inaugural Fanatics Games and $1M Prize
Tom Brady is a champion once again. The seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback won the inaugural Fanatics Games at this weekend's Fanatics Fest in New York, earning him a $1 million prize. The all-time great was among 100 celebrities, athletes and fans to compete in the Fantatics Games, which consisted of eight competitions. The eight competitions consisted of activities from different sports, such as quarterback skills, basketball shooting, soccer goal-scoring and baseball pitching accuracy, among other competitions. One of the other competitions was a WWE Superstar entrance. In his WWE Superstar entrance, Brady spat on New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner jersey and ripped former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning's jersey. Manning later interrupted his entrance, jumping on top of him. That entrance helped Brady earn 399.1 total points in the Fanatics Games. Manning was also one of the athletes who participated, finishing in fifth with 314.5 total points as Brady was able to get some revenge over the quarterback who defeated him in two Super Bowls. Brady, a FOX Sports employee, collected his $1 million prize at the Javits Center on Sunday. However, he awarded $5,000 to each of the 50 fans who participated in the Fanatics Games, while the rest of that money will go to charity. Brady's participation in the Fanatics Games was just one of the few viral moments he had from Fanatics Fest over the weekend. On Friday, he struggled to pick out the real Rob Gronkowski in a group of 20 people dressed like his former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammate. On Saturday, Brady joined LeBron James, Victor Wembanyama, streamer Kai Cenat and Maverick Carter for a live taping of "The Shop." "He's always done things the right way. He's always risen above all the noise and BS and continued to deliver," Brady said of James as he sat next to the Los Angeles Lakers star. "So you're witnessing the greatest ever, and I hope you guys will appreciate that." As for the other participants in the Fanatics Games, UFC fighter Justin Gaethje finished in second with 345.5 points. He won a a Ferrari 812 GTS for his performance. Matt Dennish, a 39-year-old teacher from Pennsylvania, finished with 326 points to place third in the competition. He outscored athletes such as James Harden, Tyreek Hill, Dwight Howard, Gronkowski, Michael Chandler and Micah Parsons, who all finished in the top 20 of the athletes who competed in the event. Harden dressed as Hulk Hogan for his WWE entrance. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was also among the athletes who participated, struggling in the pitching accuracy competition. He finished 36th in the competition. Jacksonville Jaguars two-way star Travis Hunter had the worst showing among the athletes who competed at the event, while new Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant finished with the second-worst mark. Durant actually learned of his trade to the Rockets while he was speaking at an event during Fanatics Fest on Sunday. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
