The Miami Dolphins could see significant player movement ahead of the impending trade deadline. Reports indicate that two key pass rushers, Jaelen Phillips and Bradley Chubb, are attracting interest from multiple teams.
Interest in Jaelen Phillips and Bradley Chubb
Cameron Wolfe of NFL Media has highlighted the growing interest in both players. Notably, the Philadelphia Eagles have displayed keen interest in Jaelen Phillips. Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who previously worked with Phillips in 2023, holds him in high regard.
Jaelen Phillips’ Performance
- Drafted in 2021 as a first-round pick.
- Achieved 6.5 sacks in only eight games during the 2023 season.
- Suffered a torn Achilles tendon on Black Friday against the Jets, ending his season.
- Currently in the fifth year of his rookie contract, earning $13.251 million.
Bradley Chubb’s Background
- Selected as the fifth overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
- Traded from the Denver Broncos to the Dolphins three years ago.
- Has a base salary of $1.255 million for the current season.
- Recorded four sacks in nine games this season.
If Miami opts to trade Chubb before the deadline, they would incur a dead-money charge of $23.858 million next year. Both players offer considerable talent that several teams find appealing as the NFL trade deadline approaches.
