The Philadelphia Eagles have officially completed a trade to acquire linebacker Jaelan Phillips from the Miami Dolphins, according to @AdamSchefter. In exchange for the standout pass rusher, the Dolphins are receiving tight end Will Kacmarek and the No. 87 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The move marks a significant shift for both franchises as they adjust their rosters ahead of the 2025 season. Phillips, who was selected by Miami in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, has been a core component of the Dolphins' defensive front throughout his tenure. His move to Philadelphia provides the Eagles with a proven edge rusher to bolster their defensive rotation and pass-rushing depth.
On the other side of the deal, the Dolphins acquire Will Kacmarek, a physical tight end who will look to contribute to Miami's high-powered offensive scheme. The addition of the 87th overall pick also gives the Dolphins further flexibility and draft capital to address other roster needs in the middle rounds of the draft.
