what the.

This came totally out of nowhere. but you could see toward the end of the season that he was avoiding contact. Something got pulled or strained.

Sounds like he just saved us 5.5M, thank you sir.

Maybe he'll feel better in August.

Dang. Now we need to find another speed rusher.

Feels like this has been the constant task since Dee Ford broke down like a lemon.

Still wouldn't want him...he was worthless on this team.

He would of had 1million guaranteed tomorrow. Outside of that we had no financial ties.

So looks like we get off Scott free. Not sure if we need to release him today or not. But looks like zero dead money and zero ramifications on our end

Perfect. On that note

He was probably contemplating on retiring for a while, and now that Saleh left that probably just confirmed it for him. I feel like Saleh was one of the big reasons he came here, but thats just my opinion...

Maybe he knew that they're acquiring or drafting another Edge.

Wouldn't mind having the draft pick back considering we got very little out of Huff after about week 6. Another piss poor decision by Lynch and company.

Maybe he saw the writing on the wall that Mad Maxx is coming

The 49ers save $5.392M in 2026 & $11.708M in 2027 with Bryce Huff retiring.
