FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Trying to bolster one of their weakest positions, the New York Jets acquired defensive tackles Harrison Phillips and Jowon Briggs in separate trades Wednesday.
The Jets traded two seventh-round picks (2026 and 2027) to the Minnesota Vikings for Phillips and a 2027 seventh-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The trade is pending a physical.
The Vikings agreed to pay $3.7 million of Phillips' $7.4 million salary for 2025, a source told Schefter. Phillips, 29, a starter for most of his career, projects as the starter alongside star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams in the Jets' base 4-3 front.
