Eagles Acquire Jaelan Phillips from Dolphins in Pre-Deadline Trade Move
The NFL trade deadline is generating significant buzz, with the Eagles making a notable acquisition. Philadelphia has obtained pass rusher Jaelan Phillips from the Dolphins for a third-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft. This trade was confirmed by ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday morning.
Dolphins’ Fire Sale Begins
The Dolphins, currently struggling with a disappointing 2-7 record, appear to be undergoing a roster overhaul. This follows the recent dismissal of general manager Chris Grier. The team seems focused on regrouping and offloading key players as the season unravels.
Eagles Bolster Defense
In contrast, the Eagles are actively strengthening their squad while defending their Super Bowl title. At 26 years old, Jaelan Phillips has demonstrated potential, recording three sacks this season after recovering from a torn ACL injury sustained over a year ago.
Future Moves for the Dolphins
- The Dolphins may trade another defensive player, Bradley Chubb.
- Chubb voiced his commitment to the Dolphins but acknowledged the business side of football.
- Miami is also fielding inquiries for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, with a hefty price tag attached.
Reports indicate it would require a first-round pick along with additional assets to secure Waddle’s services. The Dolphins are clearly in a position to rebuild, potentially reshaping their roster as they look toward the future.
