Just change the name on the phone, put a red flag up, and don’t answer.
But the Jags did, and now Tank Bigsby is headed to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 5th and 6th round pick in 2026.
Now, Bigsby comes off a year where he had about 700 yards rushing.
We all saw the split in week one.

They’ve decided, the Jacksonville Jaguars, that they’re comfortable with their depth at the running back position.
They’ve decided they don’t need Tank.
Let’s see if that decision puts a ring on his finger and what it means for the Jags moving forward.
