Tank Bigsby heads to Eagles as Jaguars reportedly strike trade deal

Jacksonville Jaguars are reportedly trading running back Tank Bigsby to Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for 2026 fifth- and sixth-round picks, according to multiple media reports Monday night. Bigsby, who rushed for 766 yards and seven touchdowns in 2024, averaged 32.5 yards per kick return.

Bigsby, who was picked by Jaguars in the third-round in 2023 NFL Draft, joins Eagles' running back room, which is led by Saquon Barkley and also has AJ Dillon and Will Shipley. Barkley, the reigning Offensive Player of the Year, opened the 2025 season with 84 all-purpose yards and a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys. Meanwhile, Shipley contributed 26 yards on three carries, while Dillon added 10 yards on his three attempts.



Bigsby, who has 910 yards and nine touchdowns in 34 games with the Jaguars, became dispensable because Jaguars drafted two running backs - Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen Jr. - in April earlier this year, ESPN reported.

According to the NFL, Eagles have made a burst of trades over the last month, acquiring quarterback Sam Howell from the Minnesota Vikings, wide receiver John Metchie III from the Houston Texans and offensive tackle Fred Johnson from the Jaguars.

It’s uncertain whether he’ll be ready for the Eagles’ Week 2 Super Bowl rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs, but ultimately he’s expected to give Eagles valuable depth and fresh legs behind Barkley.
