We needed a vet to let Phillips gradually make his growth into a starter on the outside.

Waynes was a good call for this, he can help Phillips in the tackling department unlike Kirkpatrick.

Tackling was always one of his biggest strengths.  He is a tough SOB.  I know it was only preseason, but we saw signs of his potential last year:

Could it be that he isn't being given playing time to keep his costs down?  He should be up for a new contract in 2021.
