Eagles Acquire Jaelan Phillips From Dolphins

Philadelphia acquired edge rusher Jaelan Phillips from the Miami Dolphins on Monday in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick. Phillips, a 2021 first-round pick, has 25 tackles and three sacks this season (26 career sacks), has missed significant time with an Achilles tear and ACL injury, is playing on his fifth-year option and will be an unrestricted free agent after the season. The Dolphins, who have fallen to 2-7 and parted ways with GM Chris Grier, appear to be entering a rebuild under interim decision-makers and are expected to field calls on other veterans including Bradley Chubb and Jaylen Waddle. The move fills a clear need for the Eagles, who have struggled to generate a pass rush after Za'Darius Smith's retirement, and comes amid Philadelphia's active roster upgrades ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline.
