Jaelan Phillips got brutally honest about why he chose Panthers over Eagles

The most crushing part of the 2026 offseason so far was the Philadelphia Eagles losing their top pass rusher, Jaelan Phillips, in free agency.

While the Eagles were in the conversation and tried to get Phillips to come back, he decided to sign a four-year, $120 million contract with the Carolina Panthers. It was a move that stunned Eagles fans, but after seeing the final price tag, everyone understood why Philly bowed out.

Phillips appeared on the NFL Network's Good Morning Football show, where he was asked about the behind-the-scenes of the negotiation process.
