Phillips re-signed with the Bills after the dallas cowboys he let go. It will be his third stage with the Bills.

“Seeing the smiles and being really wanted is an amazing drug, you know what I mean? You can do a lot for people when you’re in the right environment,” he said. “I have an acquired taste and (the Bills) like my taste.”

Phillips is known to eat on the defensive front.

He had 9.5 sacks and 31 tackles in 2019, his first full season with the Bills. He hasn’t been able to recreate that season in the years since, but he told reporters that he is completely healthy and ready to play.

“I don’t feel like I’m gone, so yeah, I’m happy about it. Ready to get to work,” he said.

He played for Buffalo for 12 games during the 2018 season, splitting time with the Miami Dolphins. He was then with the team in the 2022 and 2023 seasons before not re-signing. He appeared in two games for the Cowboys and had one tackle.
