The past few days the defensive tackle position has gotten a lot of attention from the Buffalo Bills. Earlier this week, the team was able to restructure the contract of Star Lotulelei and free up $1.75 million in cap space.
One of the team’s most pressing questions this offseason is what they do with defensive tackle Jordan Phillips. The former second round by the Miami Dolphins in 2015 had a breakout year last season with 9.5 sacks.
He is now in position to reap the rewards in a big contract through free agency. However, there is rumors now that the Bills may not let him get to free agency but rather use the franchise tag as noted by Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.
