2025 Philadelphia Eagles - Still time to add a 4th “Jalen/Jaelan“ to the roster, Howie! (81 Viewers)

[Payne]

Per Scheftar

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.

This is how you win Super Bowls.

Sure wish the Lions GM was a little more aggressive.

My take as I wrote it int he Dolphins thread

Jaelan Phillips traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for a '26 3rd round pick
-Happy for Phillips, assuming he can stay healthy he stands a good chance to experience a deep Playoff run as Philly attempts to win B2B titles
On a team with as much talent as they have, Phillips should find success these last 8-9 week sand the Playoffs
For a player entering free agency, god chance to showcase his skills

Miami gets a pick they can use in the Draft next year, Phillips was taken 18th overall in 2021, his best season was 7 sacks or thereabout
I have a good feeling he's gonna look great in a green uniform, best of luck to him

Thank you! I think he will have an instant impact with the team and maybe a slight chance the Eagles try to extend him after season, but feel the plan here is to rent him and try to play the comp pick game..

Phillips had some stretches where he looked like a stud. I think one of those was under Fangio. Big move if he stays healthy.

Fangio has apparently been pretty vocal about liking his ability as well. Great pickup

Fangio is going to go insane on this run to the playoffs with all these new pieces.

wouldnt mind making one more move. another pass rusher or secondary piece

2 key things about the trade:

• Miami is taking on $6.6M of his salary, Eagles take the remaining $500k
• The 3rd round pick is our own, which will be pretty late in the round; Eagles are keeping the 3rd rounder they got from the Jets, which will be earlier in the round.

Yep and if we receive a 3 for Milton Williams it’s basically like moving back a few spots

Incredible. We get a guy for 500k rest of season

The salary is definitely a bargain but the 3rd rounder, even a late one, is still a pretty big asset. That MIA was willing to essentially pay $6M for it speaks to that. Phillips' injury history also played a part in MIA having to take on the salary risk, too, if they wanted a 3rd.

Howie's only given up a 3rd straight-up for a player once before, and it was similar circumstances:

2018, coming off a SB win, gave up a 2019 3rd rounder (wound up being pick 88: Cody Barton) for Golden Tate, who was on the last year of his contract. Didn't really have the impact we hoped, but we did get a 2020 4th round comp pick when he signed with NYG, which Howie turned into 4 picks by trading back a few times: Shaun Bradley, Quez, Casey Toohill, and Kenny Gainwell.

Phillips turning into a comp pick is no guarantee (his next contract might not qualify, especially if he does nothing with us or gets hurt again; or, we might cancel out the comp pick with a FA signing), but would be a nice way to further offset what we gave up.

All in all, solid move.

I hear ya.

Scared money don't make no money

#Chargers FA CB Asante Samuel, who had a spinal fusion procedure this offseason, was fully cleared to return to the NFL by respected Drs. David Okonkwo and Nick Theodore in a letter agent Trevon Smith presented to NFL teams.

Samuel becomes a top FA and fascinating addition.

I was shocked that Tate trade didn't work out. I thought he was going to be great in that offense

 

[GoBirds]

Is Phillips good? I try not to watch Dolphins games.

 

[Insein]

Is Phillips good? I try not to watch Dolphins games.

Good but injury prone.

Philly should be able to keep him fresh if they put him in a rotation. Insein is right, if you lean on him to hard he'll get hurt.

 

[SoBeDad]

Phillips saying the right things. Will work his *** off, humble, earn respect. Likes Fangio. I think he was returning to his pre-injuries form.

>>And while the sack numbers haven’t been particularly high in 2025, Phillips currently ranks sixth in quarterback hurries and 11th in pressures among all edge rushers, according to Pro Football Focus.<<

Great week for the Eagles and they didn’t even play.

Acquired Jaelen Phillips

Lions, Packers, Giants, Commanders, Cowboys, Chiefs all lose.

Don’t look now but those final 4 games Raiders, Commanders, Bills, Commanders are gonna have folks talking about strength of schedule.

All games on EST

If the Eagles can take care of business these next 2 weeks…

 

[ProstheticRGK]

If Jalean Phillips is healthy. he is probably our best EDGE. This could be a very big signing.

Looking forward to seeing the Offense play the next 2 weeks, and see what the self-scouting period led to
