Eagles GM Roseman praises Jaelan Phillips, weighing re-signing top-5 free agent

Eagles GM Howie Roseman praised pending free agent edge rusher Jaelan Phillips as an "unbelievable worker, leader, and talented player," acknowledging his instant impact after being acquired via trade in 2025. Phillips is considered a top-5 free agent, and his asking price is rising. Roseman stated that while the third-round pick spent on him was worth it for one season, the team will factor in medical history, level of play, age, and scheme fit when deciding whether to re-sign him.
