Cowboys get defensive tackle Jordan Phillips from Giants in exchange for draft picks – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

The Dallas Cowboys acquire veteran defensive tackle Jordan Phillips from the New York Giants in a trade that also includes two 2026 draft picks.

The team said on its website that the deal will close on Thursday. The Cowboys will also receive a seventh-round pick in 2026, while the Giants will receive a sixth-round pick.

The addition of 31-year-old Phillips adds depth to the club's interior defensive line and hopes to be an improvement since Mazi Smith, the 2023 first-round pick, had a disappointing rookie season.

Phillips was selected in the second round by Miami in 2015 and has played for three teams in nine seasons. The Cowboys would be the fourth, replacing the Giants, who signed Phillips in the offseason.

The former Oklahoma player started 26 of 44 games in his first three years with the Dolphins before being released during the 2018 season.

Buffalo signed Phillips in 2018 for the first of two stints with the Bills, where he started nine of 14 games last season. He had career highs of 9 1/2 sacks and 13 tackles for loss with Buffalo in 2019.

Phillips also played for Arizona for a time, recording 24 sacks in 120 games with 62 starts.
