Phillips, drafted in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft by Miami, will be venturing outside of the AFC East for the first time in his career. With three and a half seasons with the Dolphins before being traded to the Bills four games into the 2018 season, Phillips is coming off the best season of his career.
In 2019, Phillips split starts with Bills rookie Ed Oliver. Getting nine of the 16 starts over Oliver, Phillips made the most of his time in the trenches securing 9.5 sacks, nearly doubling his career total.
In 35 starts and 76 games played Phillips has racked up 113 tackles, 27 tackles for loss, 33 quarterback hits, a forced fumble, and an interception.
Details regarding Phillips’ deal have yet to be released, but the contract is reportedly set for three years.
