Eagles Acquire RB Tank Bigsby From the Jaguars in Exchange for 2 Draft Picks
Tank Bigsby, a 24-year-old running back with 910 rushing yards and nine touchdowns over two-plus seasons, joins the Eagles to back up Saquon Barkley after a trade with Jacksonville.
- On September 8, 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles acquired running back Tank Bigsby from the Jacksonville Jaguars, trading 2026 fifth- and sixth-round picks, NFL insiders including Adam Schefter reported.
- After Week 1 injuries left the Eagles thin, Philadelphia sought additional backfield insurance following Will Shipley's rib injury; Tank Bigsby became available as Jacksonville's crowded backfield pushed him out.
- As a 2023 third-round pick from Auburn University, Tank Bigsby rushed for nearly 800 yards with seven rushing touchdowns last year and has 910 rushing yards and nine total rushing touchdowns in 34 career games.
- The trade immediately alters Philadelphia's backfield, making the running back room four-deep and giving fresh legs to manage Saquon Barkley's workload; Bigsby may debut in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs and aid on kick returns.
- Strategically, the trade fits Howie Roseman's recent roster moves, underscoring Philadelphia Eagles' strategy of adding depth to defend a Super Bowl title and manage Saquon Barkley's durability after last year's heavy workload.
