Was the Eagles’ trade for Tank Bigsby a smart move for their 2025 roster needs?
Eagles Acquire Tank Bigsby to Bolster Backfield and Special Teams Depth
On September 9, 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles traded 2026 fifth- and sixth-round picks to the Jacksonville Jaguars for RB Tank Bigsby, aiming to strengthen their backfield and special teams. Bigsby, a third-round pick in 2023, had a solid 2024 season with 766 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, including a breakout performance in London. His arrival gives the Eagles insurance behind Saquon Barkley and could help fill in while Will Shipley recovers from injury. Analysts are divided on the trade’s value, citing his limited use in the passing game but praising his return skills and depth potential under the new kickoff rules.
