Overview
- Philadelphia completed the deal Monday, sending Miami a 2026 third-round pick for the 26-year-old edge rusher, according to multiple reports.
- Phillips reunites with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and joins a defense the Eagles have already reinforced by adding cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter II.
- The Dolphins signal a reset under interim leadership after Chris Grier’s exit, and some reports indicate they will cover part of Phillips’ 2025 salary as part of the trade.
- League conversations remain focused on pass rushers, with reports that Cincinnati has shifted to listening on Trey Hendrickson and continued chatter around Bradley Chubb and Matthew Judon.
- The 2025 NFL trade deadline is 4 p.m. ET today, and the Eagles are viewed as active buyers given injuries, retirements and a lagging sack output on the edge.
