5) Jaguars trade Tank Bigsby to Eagles.

Following their 24-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys on opening night, the Philadelphia Eagles made a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Philadelphia acquired running back Tank Bigsby of Hogansville, Georgia for a fifth and sixth round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Bigsby’s play was limited to one game last season due to shoulder and ankle injuries.
