Eagles Lose EDGE Rusher Jaelan Phillips to Carolina Panthers in NFL Free Agency, Reports Say

  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Mar 9, 2026 that Jaelan Phillips agreed to a four-year, $120 million contract with the Carolina Panthers including $80 million guaranteed.
  • Given his recent pass-rush production and previous experience in Vic Fangio's scheme, Carolina pursued Phillips after being traded to Philadelphia at the November trade deadline.
  • Over five NFL seasons he has 28 sacks in 63 games and in 2025 produced 35 pressures, earning a 2026 Pro Bowl alternate, ESPN reported.
  • The Eagles, who traded a 2026 third-round draft pick for Jaelan Phillips, had hoped to retain him, while extending defensive tackle Jordan Davis signals broader roster planning.
  • Given his injury history, Jaelan Phillips suffered a torn Achilles in 2023 and a partially torn ACL in 2024, raising availability concerns despite reports calling the deal high-risk, high-reward during the NFL's legal tampering period.
