Jaelan Phillips Traded to Eagles, Joins Vic Fangio's Defense in Philadelphia

Edge rusher Jaelan Phillips has been traded from the Miami Dolphins to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick. Phillips reunites with Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who coached him in Miami in 2023. Phillips, who previously tore his Achilles in 2023 and his ACL last season, recorded 6.5 sacks in eight games under Fangio. He has three sacks this season in every game played. The Eagles, who have also recently acquired cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter, are looking to bolster their pass rush. Phillips expressed excitement about joining the Eagles, calling it "incredible" and stating there's "no other team I'd rather play for."
