Jaelan Phillips Lands with the Eagles – How It Shifts the NFC East Power Balance

**Miami Dolphins Trade Jaelan Phillips to Eagles in Blockbuster Deal Ahead of Trade Deadline**

*Published: Nov. 5, 2025, 2:00 a.m. ET*

The Miami Dolphins sent shockwaves through the NFL trade market on Monday by shipping edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2026 third-round draft pick. This blockbuster move, finalized just 24 hours before the trade deadline, marks another aggressive step by Howie Roseman’s front office to fortify their defense and strengthen their pursuit of back-to-back Super Bowl titles.

For the defending champions, currently sitting at 6-2 and holding the No. 1 seed in the NFC, this acquisition was not a luxury — it was a necessity that could redefine how their defensive line dominates playoff opponents as the season heads into November.

### Dolphins Shock with Jaelan Phillips Trade to Eagles

The 26-year-old Phillips brings immediate credibility to the Eagles’ pass rush rotation, a unit that has ranked in the bottom third of the NFL this season with just 16 sacks through eight games. What makes this deal particularly intriguing is the reunion factor: Phillips will reconnect with Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who served as Miami’s defensive coordinator in 2023.

That season proved to be a revelation for Phillips, who recorded 6.5 sacks in just eight games before suffering a torn Achilles that derailed his momentum.

For those looking to leverage Philadelphia’s defensive improvements in the betting market, monitoring the Eagles’ defensive performance through platforms offering competitive angles—such as exploring bonuses like the bet99 promo code to access enhanced odds on defensive outcomes—provides a strategic edge as the team’s line strengthens down the stretch.

### A Defensive Game-Changer

Phillips’ availability sparked a firestorm among contenders, with the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots also expressing genuine interest. However, the Eagles moved swiftly to secure a player they knew intimately.

Earlier in 2023, Phillips had terrorized Philadelphia’s offensive line, including a memorable moment when he drove straight through five-time All-Pro Lane Johnson to pressure quarterback Jalen Hurts. Now, that same aggression will line up alongside Josh Sweat, who returns as the Eagles’ primary edge threat following a turbulent offseason that saw Brandon Graham retire and other departures.

Phillips’ statistical profile is compelling: he has already recorded three sacks this season across nine games, accumulated 25 tackles, and logged seven quarterback hits. While his injury history—including a torn Achilles in 2023 and a season-ending knee injury in 2024—raises durability concerns, the fact that he has remained healthy throughout the 2025 campaign suggests his body is responding well.

More importantly, his presence alongside Sweat creates a nightmare scenario for NFC East rivals, particularly the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys offense will face its most formidable challenge yet when these division rivals meet next.

Dallas’ offensive line ranks 23rd in the league, and adding another elite edge rusher to an Eagles front already led by All-Pro Jalen Carter gives offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer precious few answers. Quarterback Dak Prescott will have minimal time in the pocket against a defense now fortified with cornerbacks Michael Carter II and Jaire Alexander — transformations Roseman orchestrated during the same week-long trading spree.

### How the Trade Elevates Philadelphia’s Super Bowl Odds

This acquisition lifts Philadelphia’s Super Bowl odds, currently sitting at +1000, placing the Eagles comfortably in the conversation alongside contenders like Green Bay (+950) and Detroit (+900). The Eagles are signaling to the rest of the conference that their 2024 championship wasn’t a one-year anomaly; it was the foundation of a dynasty-caliber run.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins recognized that their 2-7 record and organizational upheaval necessitated rebuilding. Shipping out Phillips, who was heading into free agency anyway, allowed Miami to accumulate draft capital while saving salary cap space.

New interim general manager Champ Kelly’s first move signals a complete reset in South Florida.

With Phillips now donning midnight green, the Eagles have transformed their pass rush from a liability into a legitimate strength. The NFC East just became significantly less competitive, and Philadelphia’s path to another Super Bowl just became considerably more achievable.

Sorry, but they are pointless. The left laughs and loves when we do them. Nothing else matters but stopping the Globalists and the left. This may anger some, but the left is the mortal enemy.

It’s in the cards

Really good playwrights know how to take the arcana of a specialized world and make it feel universal and immediate. Based on *The Pilon*, now in a terrific world premiere with Red Theater, Zach Barr is such a playwright.

**The Pilon**
Through 11/23: Mon and Thu–Sat 7:30 PM, Sun 3 PM (Mon industry night)
Edge Off Broadway, 1133 W. Catalpa
redtheater.org
$30 (limited number of $10 access tickets, $50 pay-it-forward tickets)

Set in a collectibles shop in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, Barr’s play follows a group of enthusiasts who bond over their love for cards, especially basketball cards. Corbin (Rio Soliz Ragazzone) runs a Twitch livestream from the shop, founded by his aunt Rhonda (Delia Kropp). He’s assisted by choleric Marc (Josh Razavi), whose interest seems more mercantile than personal—in contrast to Lex (Jo Tannous), who just collects what he likes, including vintage Shirley Temple cards. As Rhonda notes at one point, “Not everyone is trying to make a retirement portfolio out of cardboard.”

Young Griffey (Harper Levander), a transmasc kid just getting into collecting, rounds out the group. When a very rare basketball card (the source of the play’s title) comes into the store, the relationships become more complicated than just the love of the game and its ephemera.

Barr’s play, directed with an adept hand by Jessica Love, gives us time to adjust to the language of this world—I had no idea what a “slabbed” card meant prior to this show—while making it clear that the store is a stand-in for a lot of places where, as one character notes, “It’s rules that keep people out of the hobby.”

Manuel Ortiz’s set and Chas Mathieu’s props in the small Edge Off Broadway space add cozy verisimilitude.

Barr’s play is wise and warm, with many lovely exchanges providing important insights. It’s clear, for example, that Rhonda, who is also trans, is a source of support for Griffey, but she’s also smart enough to see that Lex and Corbin have a bond—even if the latter hasn’t picked up on the former’s attraction yet.

The generational connections that collecting provides—Rhonda treasures a baseball card from her father, and collecting cards is also something that Griffey’s dad does, though the boy isn’t ready to share that part of his life with him yet—also feel resonant and honest.

Barr never strains to make their points. Instead, they create a place where the slightly off-kilter collectors can find home and identity, even if it doesn’t bring the immediate riches of a rare find. In that way, *The Pilon* mirrors the sensation of opening up a fresh pack of trading cards. The treasures you find in life may not be the ones you thought you were looking for.

“Mastiii 4 offers a strong female perspective”: Milap Zaveri maintains composure amid backlash

The trailer for *Mastiii 4*, the latest installment of the cult comedy franchise, was released on November 4, 2025, sparking divided opinions online almost immediately. While fans of the original films celebrated the return of Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani, others took issue with the film’s adult humour and bold dialogues.

A popular YouTuber and cinephile took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her disapproval, writing, “How do they face the females in their house after doing such films, you will never know. If DISGUST was a genre, this trailer is the topper. Full confidence in our janta to watch & have no issues with the content. Arrey it’s just ‘fun’ yaar.”

Responding to the post, director Milap Zaveri maintained his composure and offered a calm, courteous reply: “Mam pls do see the film. You may be pleasantly surprised. Women have a v strong role and POV (sic).” This comes shortly after Zaveri had acknowledged another critical tweet with, “Respect your opinion bhai. Hopefully audiences will enjoy it,” showing that the filmmaker is taking the criticism in stride while maintaining confidence in his vision.

*Mastiii 4* brings back the beloved trio of Amar, Meet, and Prem, with Shreya Sharma, Ruhii Singh, and Elnaaz Norouzi joining the ensemble. The film also features Arshad Warsi and Tusshar Kapoor in pivotal roles.

Backed by Zee Studios and Waveband Production in association with Maruti International and Balaji Motion Pictures, the sex comedy promises “four times the madness” and is set to release in theatres on November 21, 2025.
