Overview

  • New York acquired Phillips and a 2027 seventh-round pick from Minnesota in exchange for sixth-rounders in 2026 and 2027, a deal that became official last Thursday.
  • Phillips said he felt initial shock but described the Jets as a great opportunity and noted the arrow is pointing up before his first practice Monday.
  • Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Phillips fits the team’s identity, and Pro Bowl tackle Quinnen Williams said he was super excited to line up next to him.
  • Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell called trading the team captain a tough move and cited roster dynamics after adding Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave with younger tackles pushing for snaps.
  • The New York Daily News reported the Vikings will pay $3.7 million of Phillips’ $7.4 million 2025 salary, and Phillips also posted gratitude to Minnesota on Instagram.
