The move reunites Phillips with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who was with the Dolphins in 2023. Phillips was having one of the best seasons of his career when he recorded 6.5 sacks and 43 tackles in eight games. However, his season ended early due to injury.
The 2018 first-round pick is putting together a solid year with nine games. He has 25 total tackles and three sacks for Miami. The Dolphins have struggled all season and lost Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Phillips had four tackles, one for loss, in the game.

Phillips earns $13.3 million this season. He is expected to be a free agent before the start of the 2026 season.
For the Dolphins, it was the first move made since the team parted ways with general manager Chris Grider. Champ Kelly took over as interim CEO. It had been rumored for weeks that the team was involved in trade discussions with some of its best players, including wide receiver Jaylen Waddle.
For the Eagles, it is the second move the team has made in three days.
