Report: Former Eagles WR Josh Huff agrees to plea deal in gun case
The Eagles got rid of him after he was arrested on the Walt Whitman Bridge last November.
Former Eagles wide receiver Josh Huff has agreed to a plea deal that will get him six months of probation instead of jail time for unlawful possession of a handgun, according to TMZ.
If Huff stays out of trouble, the gun charge will be taken off the books. Had he not struck the plea deal, he could have faced 10 years in jail if convicted.
Huff was charged with the offense after being pulled over on the New Jersey side of the Walt Whitman Bridge on Nov. 1. He was also charged with DUI, speeding, possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of illegal hollow-point bullets, and was also cited for having tinted windows on his vehicle.
The Eagles released Huff two days after the charge. On Nov. 7, he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
TMZ spoke with Huff's lawyer, who said he hopes that the DUI charge and tinted windows citation will also be dismissed.
The story did not reveal what happened to the speeding, marijuana and hollow-point bullets charges. Check back later for more details if they become available.
