The Carolina Panthers sent shockwaves through the NFL by agreeing to terms with Jaelan Phillips soon after the legal tampering window opened. It was a massive statement of intent from general manager Dan Morgan, who's locked up one of the top edge rushers on the market.
And it's not going down well with those connected to his old employers.
It seemed for a long time as if Phillips would work out another contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. They extended interior lineman Jordan Davis in advance, and general manager Howie Roseman reportedly wanted to keep the core intact.
