Jacob Phillips

Houston Texans LB Jacob Phillips was released on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Phillips signed a one-year deal with Houston earlier this offseason. As the final 53-man rosters are due Tuesday, it seems as if he did not make the cut.

LB Jacob Phillips signed a four-year contract with the Browns on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Phillips was drafted by the Browns in the third round and will have an opportunity to compete for a starting LB job in 2020. He led the SEC with 113 tackles as a junior last season. Phillips projects to be a backup, but should play a key role on special teams for the Browns in 2020.

The Cleveland Browns have selected linebacker Jacob Phillips with the No. 97 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Phillips is an athletic linebacker who excels in space and should compete for playing time at outside linebacker in Cleveland immediately.
