Running back Travis Etienne went off against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. Couple that with the presence of rookies Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen, and the Jacksonville Jaguars realized that they no longer needed Tank Bigsby, so they traded him to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a pair of draft picks.
Head coach Liam Coen says in an exchange with reporters that it was best to move on, pointing out that the team felt comfortable with the state of the running back position. However, a local voice argues that there was a non-performance reason the Jags traded Bigsby.
