After a quiet rookie year, he delivered a pair of breakout performances in 2024, including back-to-back 100-yard games with multiple touchdowns. Despite his upside, the Jaguars opted to move on, choosing draft capital over depth at running back.<\/p>\n<p>For Philadelphia, the deal provides valuable insurance behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BarkSa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-09-08_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Saquon Barkley<\/a>, who headlines the Eagles\u2019 backfield. Bigsby offers a physical, downhill rushing style that complements Barkley\u2019s explosiveness and should give the Eagles more flexibility in their ground game.<\/p>\n<p>For Jacksonville, the move is about the long view. By adding two mid-round selections in 2026, the Jaguars give themselves more flexibility to build their roster in the seasons ahead. This move will open the door for more touches for the Jags&#8217; two rookies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/T\/TuteBh00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-09-08_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bhayshul Tuten<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AlleLe01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-09-08_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LeQuint Allen<\/a> Jr. Tuten was selected in the 4th round out of Virginia Tech, with 4.3 speed, and Allen Jr. was selected in the seventh round out of \u00a0Syracuse.
