  • Will Tank Bigsby Change the Eagles Backfield?

    Tank Bigsby was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, September 8 and could mark a historic day. Could he change the Eagles backfield?

    It will be Saquon Barkley, Bigsby, A.J. Dillon, and Will Shipley. There is no man odd out. Barkley is the All-Madden favorite, but, Bigsby could make a point to start down the line considering Howie Roseman struck again.

    Shipley is a good back. He needs to work more on his agility, burst, and speed. As for Dillon, he is a great veteran presence to have around the locker room.

    Bigsby could open a huge hole for Barkley to continue working hard and, then, play well enough to determine if Bigsby has an operative tank to fill on.

    Report: Eagles Acquire Tank Bigsby

    The Philadelphia Eagles have sent a fifth and sixth round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Tank Bigsby. Bigsby is a running back with nice size and can supplement the backfield alongside Barkley, AJ Dillon, and Will Shipley.

    Many are concerned about Barkley headed into the season now. However, with the addition of Bigsby, this allows the Eagles to create a split backfield as evidenced by his performance with Travis Etienne.

    The Jaguars wanted to move on after rushing for 766 yards and seven touchdowns. The only thing remains, what the Philadelphia Eagles can do to replace No.2 running back Kenneth Gainwell who started with 107 touches last season.
