Quick answer

Buy

Phillips had 2 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2026, finishing LB54. Coming off a real climb — LB73 to LB54 tells the story better than age. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
