Many people reacted to the news on social media.
@theone_soul: “Eagles are out here treating the trade deadline like Black Friday..stacking talent nonstop.”
@FieldYates: “Thoughts from both sides of this deal: Eagles: They land one of the top players available at a key position of need. Phillips is only 26 and if this works for the rest of the season, he could have a future beyond this season. Dolphins: The right play. For a 2-7 team, they need to think future and acquire draft capital when available. If Phillips departed in free agency, they might have landed a solid compensatory pick, but that would not be better than this pick and it would not be until 2027. Good business.”
@BrendenDeeg_: ” Jaelan Phillips Tank Bigsby Michael Carter II Jaire Alexander Getting this haul during the season and still having eight 2026 draft picks (6 in the first 4 rounds) is insane. Howie is just better at this than everyone else.”
@NFLtwentyfour7: “That gives the Miami Dolphins 6 picks in the top 104 selections as it stands now. This includes their own 4th rd pick. The Dolphins have a good nucleus of young players. Its a new beginning in Miami Gardens where the Miami Dolphins call home. Signed, Finsup!!”
@PFF: “Eagles NEW edge rusher Jaelan Phillips in 2025: ▪️ 19.3% pass rush win rate ▪️ 18.1% pressure percentage These would both currently rank first among all Eagles defensive linemen this year”
Emmanuel Acho: “Dear Eagles fans, Here is the EXCLUSIVE film breakdown on Jaelan Phillips! This is one to be wildly excited about and y’all know I don’t bull sh*t you.”

@ThePhillyPod: “Jaelan Phillips is top-15 in pressures this season, up there with some good names.”
@TheListFinsPod: “Disappointed to lose Jaelan Phillips, not the EDGE I would’ve dealt. A stud who just could never put it all together, hampered by injuries. His Dolphins career: 31 Sacks 35 Hits 116 Hurries 99 Key Stops Thanks for it, all @JJPhillips15 Philly fans, you guys got a real one”
@That_Hurts: “Let me break this Jaelan Phillips trade down for yall -Eagles are projected to have 3 thirds. We traded our own so essentially a 4th round pick for him -Dolphins are eating a good portion of his salary -IF we lose him in free agency. We could still get a comp pick back for him😭”
