The 2026 NFL Draft is here and the 32 teams are welcoming another rookie crop that can shake up the league. The draft also means finalizing past trades that included future draft picks. A big one was the November 2025 trade that sent Jaelan Phillips from the Miami Dolphins to the Philadelphia Eagles.

How was Jaelan Phillips’ performance for the Eagles in 2025?
After two injury-filled seasons in 2023 and 2024, Phillips was fully healthy in 2025, playing and starting in all 17 games with the Dolphins and Eagles. During his time with the Eagles, he recorded 28 tackles, two sacks and four passes defensed.
Was Jaelan Phillips’ 2025 performance worth the price?
That’s up to you. Head to the comments to let us know. With Phillips in Carolina, there is nothing more for him to contribute in Philadelphia.
Right now, Over the Cap is projecting a third-round compensatory pick for Phillips for the Eagles in 2027. So it didn’t cost them a third-rounder, it cost them a one-year wait and a few draft slots. Not very much at all.
Who won the Jaelan Phillips trade?
Another trade gets wrapped up, as the Dolphins use the 87th overall pick on TE Will Kacmarek.
Let’s look back (not as far back as the Reddick trade).
