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

The move underscores Philadelphia’s push to fortify a thin pass rush with the deadline hours away.

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.
