What is a fair contract extension for Jets DT Harrison Phillips?

The New York Jets could be nearing a decision on a contract extension for defensive tackle Harrison Phillips, after the team showed an active approach this offseason. The Jets have already extended running back Breece Hall and signed offensive lineman Joe Tippmann to long-term terms. Phillips was acquired from the Minnesota Vikings in a trade last offseason for 2026 and 2027 sixth-round picks, and the article says he has produced immediately in Aaron Glenn’s defense with a career-high five tackles for loss and 60 total tackles. The Jets inherited a two-year extension previously signed with the Vikings worth $15 million, at an average annual salary of $7 million. With the 2026 season described as a contract-year and Phillips now 30, the article proposes negotiations for a reasonable extension, suggesting a two-year deal near $19 million that could keep him under contract through 2028.
