Overview
- Multiple outlets report the agreement includes $80 million guaranteed and cannot be finalized until the new league year begins on March 11.
- Phillips’ move follows morning reports of significant progress toward an Eagles extension before negotiations opened leaguewide.
- Carolina, which finished near the bottom of the league in sacks last season, targets Phillips to bolster the edge and complement defensive tackle Derrick Brown.
- The $30 million average annual value places Phillips among the highest-paid edge rushers, ranking eighth at the position per Over The Cap.
- Despite a torn Achilles in 2023 and a partially torn ACL in 2024, Phillips played a full 2025 season with strong pressure totals, leaving Philadelphia to address thin edge depth and potentially qualify for a future compensatory pick.
