Phillips, nonetheless solely 26 and in a contract yr, is perhaps the one with essentially the most worth, regardless of shedding chunks of the previous three years to severe accidents. The Eagles are a staff to look at, with the query being how far Philly would go to get him (sounds prefer it’d price a minimum of a third-rounder).”
