In a surprise move, the New York Giants traded defensive tackle Jordan Phillips to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2025 second-round pick and a 2026 fifth-round pick.
According to sources close to the team, the Giants were looking to shake up their defensive line and felt that Phillips’ performance had declined.
The Cowboys, on the other hand, are looking to bolster their interior pass rush, and Phillips would be a perfect fit.
Phillips, a 6’6″, 341-pound defensive tackle, has been a fixture on the Giants’ defense since 2018, averaging 15.5 sacks and 34 tackles for loss during his tenure.
However, his playing time has decreased in recent weeks, and he has led the way in thinking about his future with this team.
The deal is expected to be a win-win for both teams, as the Giants get the top draft prize to rebuild their roster, while the Cowboys get a proven pass rusher. help run the race.
Phillips is expected to be ready for the Cowboys this Sunday against the Eagles.
