Phillips re-signed with the Bills after the Dallas Cowboys released him. It will be his third stint with the Bills.
"Seeing the smiles, and being actually wanted, it’s a hell of a drug, you know what I mean? You can do a lot for people when it’s in the right environment," he said. "I’m an acquired taste, and (the Bills) like my taste."
