When the Miami Dolphins traded Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles, it was a move that wasn't unexpected and was good for both sides. Phillips has yet to comment directly about the Dolphins since his departure, at least not publicly.
After he arrived in Philadelphia, Phillips said, "There is no place I would rather be." Miami fans didn't care for the comments but understood. What else was he going to say? On Monday night, the former Dolphins first-round pick made his Eagles debut and went better than even he could have expected.
Following the game, Phillips spoke to reporters, and while he didn't try to insult his former team, he brought to light something Dolphins fans have known but didn't want to admit openly.
