Overview

  • ESPN’s Dan Graziano says Phillips could hit the trade block later this fall as Miami evaluates moves ahead of the early‑November deadline.
  • Phillips is on his fifth‑year option and set for free agency after 2025, with a prorated salary around $13 million that contenders could absorb.
  • Media have identified the 49ers as a logical suitor after Nick Bosa’s season‑ending ACL injury, with one ClutchPoints proposal featuring a 2026 first‑rounder, a 2027 third and EDGE Drake Jackson.
  • Other speculation includes a Jets swap floated by Bleacher Report for a 2026 fourth‑round pick and coverage linking the Lions as a fit following an edge injury in Detroit.
  • Evaluations weigh upside from roughly 22 early‑career sacks against major injuries—Achilles in 2023 and ACL in 2024—with Sportsnaut noting a slow 2025 start statistically.
