Who Should I Start? Anthony Schwartz or Kyle Philips

Monday, November 13, 9:57 AM

Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Anthony Schwartz is signing with the Miami Dolphins practice squad. The former 2021 third-round pick out of Auburn was waived by the Browns in the offseason with an injury designation. He was later placed on injured reserve and cut with a settlement. With a new contract, Schwartz appears to be healthy and ready to play if called upon. Speed is his calling card, so it's no surprise that Miami would be the team to sign him. He's just the latest former track star to join the roster in South Beach. Schwartz has tallied 14 catches, 186 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown across 25 games in two seasons.

The Las Vegas Raiders signed free-agent wide receiver Kyle Philips to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. Philips, a former fifth-round selection by the Tennessee Titans in 2022 out of UCLA will head to the AFC West after spending all of the 2024 campaign on the practice squad of the Philadelphia Eagles. In 2022 and 2023, he caught only 23 of 35 targets for 259 yards and no touchdowns in 13 games played (no starts). The 25-year-old pass-catcher also saw time on special teams as a kickoff and punt returner, which will probably be his best path to a roster spot with the Raiders. Philips will be reuniting with his old head coach at UCLA in Chip Kelly, who is now the Raiders' offensive coordinator under new head coach Pete Carroll. Philips's familiarity with Kelly won't guarantee him a roster spot out of training camp, though.
