Late Wednesday evening, a rare trade agreement was reached between heated NFC East conference foes, the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Giants have agreed to trade defensive tackle Jordan Phillips to the Cowboys.
BREAKING: The #Giants are trading DT Jordan Phillips to the #Cowboys, per multiple sources,” said Schultz via X.
In exchange for the veteran defensive tackle, Dallas is sending a sixth-round pick to New York. However, come with the Cowboys do get a seventh-round pick in the trade as well.
Phillips started his career with the Miami Dolphins after they selected him in the second round with the No. 52 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. He played college ball with the Oklahoma Sooners from 2011 to 2014, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors in his final season on campus.
Since making it to the NFL, Phillips has bounced around a bit, playing for the Buffalo Bills on two separate occasions, along with the Arizona Cardinals, and most recently signing with the New York Giants. However, something must have gone awry in New York, as the six-foot-six, 341-pound LB from Wichita, Kansas, now finds himself suiting up for one of the Giants’ biggest rivals following the trade.
In his NFL career, Phillips has played in 120 games and has started in more than 50 percent of those contests (62 games). For his career, he has recorded 181 tackles, 51 quarterback hits, 36 tackles for loss, 24 sacks, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and an interception.
It is unclear what his role will be with the Cowboys or where he will land on their depth chart and the preseason, but Cowboys fans should expect some quality production out of the veteran nose tackle.
Cowboys defensive lineman Albert Huggins tossed from drill after shoving of Rams staffer
The sparks were flying at Dallas Cowboys training camp practice on Wednesday as the team hosted the LA Rams for another joint practice. After the Rams beat Dallas by one point on Sunday, the Cowboys welcomed the team back for another practice and scrimmage, but, as expected, there was some tension.
Former Clemson defensive lineman Albert Huggins got an ear full and was reportedly ejected from a DL-versus-OL drill on Wednesday. Whether on purpose or naturally, he took his momentum on a QB rush right into one of the Rams staffers filling in at quarterback. Huggins shoved the staffer to the ground, leading to a rush of LA linemen moving to reprimand the defender.
Players and/or staffers can be heard in footage, snagged by Dallas Morning News‘ Calvin Watkins, saying things like, “What the f*** was that?” Even Rams head coach Sean McVay had to swoop in to diffuse the situation.
