John Phillips Rumors & News

Gm Tom Telesco Talks Draft, Off Season Workouts, Free Agency and More - Ricky HenneThen there’s John Phillips, a tight end we’re excited about. In Dallas he was Jason Witten’s complementary tight end. He did all the dirty work. He was a lunch pail guy around the line of scrimmage. He is a really good run blocker and a pass blocker.

When John Phillips signed with the Chargers early last week, multiple reports announced with great fanfare and quite a bit of glee that the "Dreadful Dozen" Cowboys draft class of 2009 was done in Dallas.

Among other things, Jason Witten's last three backups (Anthony Fasano, Martellus Bennett and John Phillips) all signed free agent contracts with new teams today. Witten, of course, remains with the Cowboys. But perhaps the biggest news for Cowboys fans so far is the deal former Ravens edge-rusher Paul Kruger signed with the Cleveland Browns today.

Tight end John Phillips had recent surgery on his left shoulder, but the soon-to-be free agent is expected to be ready for the spring workouts.
