Overview
- Philadelphia is sending Miami a 2026 third-round pick for Phillips, with the Dolphins retaining a portion of his 2025 salary, according to multiple reports.
- Phillips is in the final year of his rookie deal and is set to become a free agent after the season, making the move a short-term boost for the Eagles’ pass rush.
- The 26-year-old reunites with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, under whom he posted 6.5 sacks in eight games in 2023, and joins a defense that recently added Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter II.
- Miami, now 2-7, has shifted toward accumulating draft capital days after parting with GM Chris Grier, with interim GM Champ Kelly overseeing deadline decisions.
- The Cowboys had been exploring edge-rush additions including Phillips, per reports, and will pivot to other targets before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET trade deadline.
