**Was Jaelan Phillipsâ 2025 performance worth the price?**
Thatâs up to you. Head to the comments to let us know. With Phillips in Carolina, there is nothing more for him to contribute in Philadelphia. Right now, Over the Cap is projecting a third-round compensatory pick for Phillips for the Eagles in 2027. So it didnât cost them a third-rounder, it cost them a one-year wait and a few draft slots. Not very much at all.
