Former Dolphins and Eagles linebacker Jaelan Phillips has agreed to a four-year, 120 million deal with the Carolina Panthers that includes $80 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports.
The Eagles acquired Phillips from Miami at the November trade deadline in exchange for a 2026 third-round draft pick. Phillips called landing in Philly “literally the greatest thing that has happened to me in my whole life, probably,” noting how welcoming everyone was and how much he liked the environment.
A first-round pick out of Miami in 2021, Phillips has dealt with his share of significant injuries, including a torn Achilles in 2023 and a partially torn ACL in 2024. He played in all 17 games this past season, however — marking the first time he had done so since ’22.
Phillips, 26, has 28 career sacks and 68 QB hits in 63 career games.
