In a move that defies the typical reluctance of division rivals to trade with each other, the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys have pulled off a surprising transaction. According to a source familiar with the deal, the Giants have traded veteran defensive tackle Jordan Phillips to the Cowboys. In exchange, the Giants will receive a sixth-round draft pick and a seventh-rounder, further sweetening the pot with the player involved.

Jordan Phillips, a 2015 second-round pick by the Miami Dolphins, has had a journeyman career across several teams. Over the past nine seasons, Phillips has suited up for the Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Arizona Cardinals, and most recently, the Giants. His career has seen him make 120 regular-season appearances and earn 62 career starts, showcasing a solid and reliable presence on the defensive line.

Phillips, who signed with the Giants earlier this year, is under a relatively modest contract. He carries a salary of $1.21 million and received a $430,000 signing bonus. The move to Dallas not only addresses the Cowboys’ needs along the defensive line but also reflects their willingness to engage with a division rival, a rare occurrence in the NFL.

This trade signifies a strategic play for both teams. The Cowboys bolster their defensive front with a seasoned veteran, while the Giants capitalize on the opportunity to gain additional draft capital, which could prove valuable in future roster-building efforts.

Phillips’ acquisition by the Cowboys adds depth to their defensive line and brings a wealth of experience. His ability to contribute as both a starter and rotational player will be crucial as Dallas aims to strengthen its defense for the upcoming season. For the Giants, the trade is a calculated decision to enhance their draft positioning while moving forward from a player they recently signed.

In a league where intra-division trades are often viewed as taboo, this deal between the Giants and Cowboys is a notable exception, demonstrating that strategic considerations can sometimes outweigh traditional rivalries.
