Panthers Sign Edge Jaelan Phillips to Massive $120M Contract

Edge rusher Jaelan Phillips has agreed to a four-year, $120 million contract with the Carolina Panthers, including $80 million in guarantees. Phillips split the 2025 season between the Dolphins and Eagles, recording 73 pressures. Despite past Achilles and ACL injuries, the 26-year-old logged 63 combined pressures last year. He becomes the league's eighth-highest-paid edge defender and is expected to anchor the Panthers' defensive front.
