Dolphins Weigh Trading Jaelan Phillips; Patriots Interested

After a 1-5 start, the Miami Dolphins are expected to be sellers ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline and are weighing moves that could include trading pass rusher Jaelan Phillips and running back Jaylen Wright. Multiple teams have inquired about Miami's edge help — including reported calls from the New England Patriots — and the Dolphins have also taken calls on Bradley Chubb. Phillips, who is unsigned beyond this season and will become an unrestricted free agent in March, said he wants to remain in Miami but will leave trade discussions to his agent. He faced criticism after a missed sack against the Chargers, briefly deactivated his X account, and has been studying the play with rookie safety Dante Trader Jr. as he works to rebound. Miami may prefer to trade Phillips to recoup draft value now rather than risk losing him for a compensatory pick later as the club considers roster and potential organizational changes.
