The New York Jets got a major boost to their defensive line when they acquired run-stuffing defensive tackle Harrison Phillips on August 20.
Giving up just a 2026 sixth-round pick while also swapping a sixth for a seventh in 2027, the Jets also got the Minnesota Vikings to pay half of Phillip's $7.4 million salary, making the move a master stroke for Darren Mougey.
With just eight sacks over his eight-year career, Phillips isn't flashy. His job is to do the dirty work — take up space, clog rushing lanes, and push the pocket back, allowing others to clean up — and in Week 1, you could say he did it pretty well.
