Patriots reportedly targeting Dolphins pass rusher ahead of trade deadline
"Phillips has seemingly become one of the top players available across the NFL ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The Dolphins fell to 2-7 following their loss to the Ravens on Thursday and parted ways with their general manager on Friday, raising the speculation that they could be trading players in the coming days. Phillips hasn't been the reason for the Dolphins' poor play, logging a sack on Thursday and two sacks in the last three games."
"While all three of Phillips's sacks this season have come in the last month, he's seemed to regain the form he had prior to suffering an Achilles tear late in the 2023 season. He ranks 11th in pressures among edge rushers (32), per Pro Football Focus. He's also tied for 13th in pass-rush win rate among edge rushers who've played at least five games this season (19.3)."
Multiple teams including the Patriots, 49ers and Eagles are targeting Miami edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, and the Dolphins are asking for at least a third-round pick. The Dolphins sit at 2-7 and recently parted ways with their general manager, increasing trade speculation. Phillips has registered three sacks recently and ranks 11th in pressures (32) and tied for 13th in pass-rush win rate (19.3) among qualifying edge rushers. He is also seventh in run-stop win rate (31 percent) with 25 tackles this season. Phillips is 26 and on the final year of his rookie contract, contrasting with Bradley Chubb's remaining two years.
