NFL Rumors: Details Of Safety Adrian Phillips’ Patriots Contract
It appears the New England Patriots are getting a former All-Pro at a bargain.
The Pats on Thursday reportedly signed safety Adrian Phillips to a two-year deal — a move that came after the departures of now-ex-Pats defensive players Duron Harmon, Nate Ebner, Kyle Van Noy, Jamie Collins and Danny Shelton.
Phillips has spent all six of his NFL seasons with the Chargers, and was both an All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection in 2018. However, he played in just seven games for Los Angeles in 2019.
As such, the Pats signed him for cheap. Here are the details of Phillips’ contract with the Pats, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
