Giants Trade Defensive Tackle Jordan Phillips to Cowboys

The New York Giants have traded defensive tackle Jordan Phillips to the Dallas Cowboys, marking a rare collaboration between division rivals. In exchange, the Giants receive a sixth-round pick and a seventh-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, a strategic move to bolster their rebuilding efforts. Phillips, a seasoned player with experience from teams including the Dolphins, Bills, and Cardinals, was unlikely to secure a spot on the Giants' 53-man roster following the emergence of rookie Elijah Chatman. The Cowboys aim to enhance their defensive line with Phillips, a notable player who previously had a career high of 9.5 sacks with Buffalo. This trade reflects the Giants' commitment to future roster improvements and signals the Cowboys' ongoing pursuit of a stronger defense. Both teams are now poised for the upcoming NFL season with new dynamics in their lineups.
