Dolphins' Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips Reportedly Drawing 'Lots' of Trade Calls

Teams are reportedly expressing interest in Miami Dolphins pass-rushers Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips ahead of the Nov. 4 NFL trade deadline.

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Dolphins have received "lots of calls" on Chubb and Phillips.

It comes as little surprise that teams are lurking around the Dolphins in hopes of them selling off assets since the team is tied for the second-worst record in the league at 1-5.

Both Chubb and Phillips are coming off major knee injuries, and their performances so far in 2025 have been at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Chubb, 29, missed the entire 2024 campaign due to a torn ACL. He has shown no ill effects this season, though, registering a team-leading four sacks through six games.

The 26-year-old Phillips was limited to four games last season due to a torn ACL, and he also missed nine games the previous season with a torn Achilles.

Given the severity of the injuries he suffered back to back, perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise that Phillips has only one sack in six games this season.

Originally the fifth overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft by the Denver Broncos, Chubb was traded to the Dolphins in 2022.

The two-time Pro Bowler made a major impact early in his tenure with the Dolphins, and in his only full season in Miami thus far, Chubb had 11 sacks and a league-leading six forced fumbles in 2023.

Miami selected Phillips 18th overall in the 2021 NFL draft out of the University of Miami, and he showed immense potential early in his career.

Phillips had a career-high eight sacks as a rookie, followed by seven in his second year. In 2023, Phillips had 6.5 sacks in eight games before tearing his Achilles, and he hasn't been the same player since then.

While Chubb is signed through 2027, Phillips is playing under his fifth-year option this year, meaning he is set to become a free agent during the offseason.

That suggests the Dolphins may be more willing to part with Phillips, but given Chubb's production, he would likely land more in a trade.

Miami's performance in its next three games against the Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens could potentially go a long way toward determining whether the organization sells off pieces or tries to make a run at the playoffs.
