We have our first major trade of the 2025 season before Week 1 has even come to an end. [According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport](https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1965200222008869112), the Eagles are trading for Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby. [According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter](https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1965200790148305285), the Jaguars will receive 2026 fifth- and sixth-round picks from Philly.
It’s a sudden, stunning move, especially from the Jaguars perspective. Bigsby was listed as a co-starter alongside Travis Etienne for the season opener. The latter finished that victory over the Panthers with 19 touches (including 16 carries) and 156 offensive yards. Bigsby was limited to only five carries and 12 yards.
Following the 2024 campaign, it appeared that Bigsby’s stock was rising in Jacksonville while Etienne’s continued to fall. A 2021 first-round pick, Etienne topped 1,400 yards from scrimmage in each of his first two NFL seasons, but he was limited to only 812 yards and two scores in 2024. Bigsby, a 2023 third-round pick, served as a deep backup as a rookie before cutting into his teammate’s playing time in 2024, with the second-year player compiling 820 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns.
