addressing the media<\/a>, Phillips allowed that he’s not sure what the future holds. But he also said that he enjoyed his time in Philadelphia and would be amenable to returning.<\/p>\n“It’s my first experience with it (free agency) so I’m not really sure how it plays out,” Phillips said. “But we’ll see. We’ll see what happens. Obviously, I’ve got a family now and a kid on the way and sort of think about that. But, also, you know I want to be on a competitive team and part of an environment where I love the guys I’m around and love the organization I’m playing for. I feel that here. So, we’ll see.”<\/p>\n
Phillips is entering the prime of his career and has no shortage of potential. But he also has a fairly extensive injury history\u2014one that makes signing the five-year veteran to a long-term deal something of a risky proposition.<\/p>\n
The projected franchise tag for defensive ends isn’t cheap–$26.6 million. The Eagles are also short on cap space, with $10.4 million in wiggle room.<\/p>\n
But Philly also doesn’t have much depth on the edge, and losing Phillips would be a major blow, so the tag could be a possibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles brought in edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips in a mid-season deal with the Miami Dolphins last year.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":441517,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":["post-441516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=441516"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441516\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/441517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=441516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=441516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=441516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
