5:48 PM: The Eagles bolstered their pass rush group ahead of the Trade Deadline with the addition of Jaelan Phillips from the Dolphins in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick. Phillips is reunited with Vic Fangio, who was his defensive coordinator in Miami during the 2023 season when Phillips had 6.5 sacks in eight games.
Phillips was a first-round draft pick in 2021 and has put together some strong seasons in the NFL, but nothing has made him happier than joining the Eagles.
"I mean, I thought I was excited Day 1. Talk to me now, this is like literally the greatest thing that's happened in my whole life, probably," Phillips said on Thursday. "But it's just awesome. The guys are awesome, everybody's been super welcoming. I love the environment here, I love the vibe here.
"The City of Philly has given me a very warm welcome. I got about 20 times the amount of Instagram likes that I ever got on a post from before from the Philly fans, so shout out to y'all. It's been great so far, getting out there, practicing. I love the weather here, I love the locker room. Everything's awesome." — Matt Ryan
