Eagles Acquire Jaelan Phillips From Dolphins for 2026 Third-Round Pick

The move signals a push to boost a lagging pass rush under Vic Fangio.

Overview

  • Philadelphia is sending Miami a 2026 third-round pick for Phillips, according to multiple reports.
  • The deal reunites the edge rusher with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who coached him in Miami in 2023.
  • Phillips has three sacks and 25 tackles this season after an Achilles tear in 2023 and an ACL tear early in 2024.
  • He is earning $13.3 million in the final year of his rookie contract and is set to reach free agency at season’s end.
  • The 6-2 defending champions have been adding defensive help this week, and Miami’s 2-7 interim regime under Champ Kelly executed its first reported trade after Chris Grier’s dismissal.
