Philadelphia Eagles trade for Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby in surprising move
Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles have traded for running back Tank Bigsby from the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The extra reinforcement has come at the cost of 2026 fifth and sixth-round picks that have gone to Jacksonville, according to multiple reports.
Bigsby, 23, only recorded five carries in Sunday’s win over Carolina Panthers on a day where No. 1 running back Travis Etienne Jr. gained 143 yards.
According to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, that display made the deal ‘palpable’ for the Jaguars, who also have rookie Bhayshul Tuten in the backfield.
Bigsby will provide depth in Philly behind Saquon Barkley, who logged a league-high 345 rushing attempts last season.
Barkley finished his team’s opening 24-20 win over Dallas with 18 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown.

Backups AJ Dillon and Will Shipley also had three carries each.
In addition to his rushing abilities, the Eagles also targeted Bigsby for his ability to return kicks, Rapoport’s NFL Network colleague Mike Garafolo said.
