The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired defensive lineman Jaelan Phillips from the Miami Dolphins in a trade, according to sources close to the teams. The move is part of the Eagles’ ongoing efforts to strengthen their defensive line ahead of the 2024 NFL season. Phillips, a 24-year-old prospect with the Dolphins, has shown promise in his rookie season, and the Eagles believe his addition will bolster their pass-rushing capabilities.
The trade details were not disclosed, but it is believed that the Eagles provided a conditional draft pick in exchange for Phillips. The Dolphins, looking to shed salary cap space, see this as a strategic move to restructure their roster. Both teams are optimistic about the trade’s potential impact on their respective seasons, with the Eagles aiming to contend for a playoff spot and the Dolphins hoping to improve their record.
