Moreover, ESPN’s Adam Schefter gave the full rundown about the Philips trade. Along with other pertinent details and information about Jaelan. Including his contract and confirmation on why Philadelphia snagged him up. Schefter says,
“Sources: Miami is trading edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick.
This is the third trade the Eagles have made in the past week. They now have added Phillips, CB Jaire Alexander and CB Michael Carter.
Jaelen Phillips is in the last year of his contract and is scheduled to become a free agent this winter. But the Eagles wanted him for the second half of this season as they continue their attempt to try to repeat.
Jaelan Phillips will reunite with DC Vic Fangio, who was his defensive coordinator in Miami in 2023, the year Phillips posted 6.5 sacks in just 8 games. On Friday, Miami and GM Chris Grier parted ways. Now interim GM Champ Kelly has helped engineer his first trade, landing a 2026 third-round pick for a player on an expiring contract. The Eagles had two 2026 third-round picks, theirs and the Jets. The one being sent to Miami is their initial pick.”
Nice. Well then welcome to Philly Jaelan! Phillips will no doubt be a useful defensive piece to be utilized on the field for the rest of the season.
