Overview

  • The Phillips trade sends the veteran tackle and a 2027 seventh-round pick to New York for the Jets’ 2026 and 2027 sixth-round selections, pending his physical.
  • The Vikings’ move follows big additions of Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave and provides reported 2025 cap relief, with depth making Phillips expendable.
  • The Jets also finalized a separate swap with the Browns for Jowon Briggs, acquiring the second-year tackle and a 2026 seventh-rounder for a 2026 sixth-round pick.
  • Briggs, a 2024 seventh-round pick, played six games as a rookie with 13 tackles and two QB hits and is a low-cost depth piece on roughly a $960,000 2025 base salary.
  • New York targeted interior help after Byron Cowart’s ankle injury, with Phillips projecting as the starter next to All-Pro Quinnen Williams and Briggs bolstering rotation options.
