Cowboys Bolster Defense with Top-Tier EDGE, Dallas Primed for Super Bowl LX
Dallas, October 8, 2025
The Dallas Cowboys are brewing a potential blockbuster deal that could shake up the NFL: negotiating with the Miami Dolphins to acquire Jaelan Phillips, one of the league’s premier EDGE rushers. Ranked 4th among edge rushers and 13th overall in the NFL for the 2023-24 season by PFSN LBi (with a 94.4 score), Phillips is the perfect piece to strengthen the Cowboys’ defense, which needs added firepower to support the offense led by Dak Prescott.

Despite missing 22 games over five seasons due to injuries, Phillips has shown resilience in the 2025 season, playing all five games, recording 5 tackles for loss and 1 sack. Pairing him with Kenny Clark could elevate the Cowboys’ defense, easing pressure on the offense and creating opportunities to compete in the grueling stretch of the season.
According to analyst Josh Weil from Pro Football Network, the Cowboys could offer a fourth-round draft pick to secure Phillips. The Miami Dolphins, with plans to rebuild in 2026, are reportedly open to the trade to gain valuable draft capital. If successful, this deal would be a game-changer for Dallas in their pursuit of the 2025 NFL title.

In a recent interview, Jaelan Phillips himself expressed excitement about the possibility of joining the Cowboys:
“I’ve always wanted to compete in the most competitive environment and prove my worth. If Dallas is genuinely interested, I’m ready to seize that opportunity. I know the Cowboys are a team with rich tradition, incredible fans, and I want to contribute to bringing home victories.”
For Cowboys fans, the news about Phillips is a major source of inspiration. He not only brings elite edge-rushing skills but also embodies a fierce competitive spirit. If this trade comes to fruition, AT&T Stadium will soon witness a new “storm,” ready to challenge any opponent on the road to the Super Bowl.
