The Patriots might ask a division rival to help fill their need to improve at edge rusher.
New England is among a handful of teams targeting Miami edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, The Athletic‘s Dianna Russini reported Saturday. As the 49ers and Eagles are among the other teams interested in Phillips, the Dolphins are asking for at least a third-round pick for the standout edge rusher, Russini added.
Phillips has seemingly become one of the top players available across the NFL ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. The Dolphins fell to 2-7 following their loss to the Ravens on Thursday and parted ways with their general manager on Friday, raising the speculation that they could be trading players in the coming days.
