Bryce Huff Opens Up About Eagles Exit: ‘A Plethora of Things Went Down’ - Heavy Sports
In a July 1 interview with TheSFNiners YouTube Channel, Bryce Huff suggested he knew from very early on he wasn’t going to be a great fit in Philadelphia, and he shared some candid comments about his lone year there. “If I’m being 100% honest with you, I wanted a trade like fairly early on. And just cause of how things went in Philly, I knew pretty early on it wasn’t a fit,” he said, before elaborating further. Noting his expectations were “at an all-time high” when he arrived in Philadelphia, Huff suggested things went South in a hurry — as early as training camp. “I talked to my agent about it and was like, when it’s all set and done, I might need to step to put myself in the best position to ball out and have a fruitful career,” Huff added. “There’s a plethora of things that went down.

They had no QB, so they went out and got 34 year old Geno Smith, reuniting him with Carroll, where in two seasons they went 9-8 twice and got blown out in their only playoff game.
Top five NFL draft values of the millennium at cornerback: Richard Sherman was a fifth-round FIND - NFL.com
This offseason I am taking a position-by-position look at the best NFL draft values of the millennium: In short, which teams received the most bang for their draft-pick buck? Higher draft picks were not dismissed for this exercise, but I tended to side with the highest-achieving lower selections. Extra weight was also given to longevity and the value those players provided for the teams that drafted them. Now, there’s a reason why cornerbacks are so highly sought after: Quality ones are hard to find. A scan of the past quarter century has shown an overwhelming lean toward early-round — and largely first-round — corners when we drill down to the best of...
