Jaelan Phillips officially joins the Carolina Panthers on a massive four-year, $120 million deal, featuring $80 million guaranteed, according to ESPN. The former standout edge rusher, previously with the Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles, makes a big impact despite a modest five sacks last season. His 73 pressures rank him ninth among edge rushers, with 41 coming during his eight games in Philadelphia. Phillips proved to be a valuable asset in defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's system after the Eagles traded a third-round pick for him. At just 26 years old, he continues to show promise despite past injury concerns. Phillips' career totals sit at 28 sacks over five seasons, peaking with 8.5 in his rookie year. His addition bolsters the Panthers' defensive line as they aim for a stronger showing next season.
