A move that had appeared to be on the horizon has come to fruition.
According to The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov, defensive tackle Jordan Phillips has re-signed with the team via a one-year, $3 million deal.
The move comes in little surpise as Phillips had a “free-agent visit” in Buffalo on Monday. Naturally, the quotes signify how strange that sounds.
Not only has Phillips played for the Bills, the 30-year-old did so just last season.
Regardless, that was a telling sign that Phillips could likely be returning to Buffalo. Something he expressed he wanted to do at the end of last season.
“Yeah, I’m going to figure out a way to get it done,” Phillips said.
Phillips had his breakout year with the Bills in 2019. He mustered together 9.5 sacks in 16 games that season.
Ahead of 2020, Phillips signed as a free agent with the Arizona Cardinals. He then returned to Buffalo last offseason via a one-year deal.
In 2022, Phillips appeared in Buffalo’s defensive line rotation for 12 games. Toward the end of the year, Phillips suffered a shoulder injury which eventually required surgery this offseason. When Phillips was on the field, he managed 20 tackles, including three for loss, with 1.5 sacks.
