Trade Rumors Linking The Dallas Cowboys To Jaguars Star RB Travis Etienne Jr.

Jacksonville Jaguars star running back Travis Etienne Jr. has been mentioned heavily in offseason trade rumors as he heads into his contract year, with the Dallas Cowboys often suited as a potential landing spot.

After back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, Etienne had a down 2024 season that saw him rush for just 558 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore Tank Bigsby finished the season as the Jaguars’ leading rusher with 766 yards and seven touchdowns.

Last month, Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox floated the Cowboys as a possible trade destination for Travis Etienne. Knox cited the uncertainty that free agent signings Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders bring as the top two RBs on the depth chart.

But according to longtime Cowboys reporter Mike Fisher of Athlon Sports, a team source said any rumors about the club exploring a trade for a running back are “false.” Fisher also doesn’t expect Dallas to add another RB until they’ve seen them in action at training camp.

Travis Etienne Jr. hilariously laments fantasy football situation

A Lisfranc injury forced Etienne to miss his entire rookie season, but he looked like a star at full strength over the next two years. Travis Etienne’s fifth-year option was picked up by the Jaguars last offseason, so we’ll see how he produces in what is likely his final season in Duval County.

Travis Etienne Should Be A Hot Trade Candidate If Jaguars Are Out Of Playoff Race

The Jaguars may as well enter the regular-season with Etienne and Bigsby in the backfield together. Trevor Lawrence, Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter will lead the way in the passing game, but an Etienne-Bigsby RB tandem could add another element to this offense.

But if Jacksonville is out of the playoff race leading up to the trade deadline, expect them to shop and trade Etienne. He’s shown the ability to be a No. 1 RB, and Etienne could make a difference on a Super Bowl hopeful.

The NFL Officially Fines the Chiefs for Violating Concussion Protocol, Leading to a Situation Where a Wide Receiver’s Career Could Be in Jeopardy
BREAKING: The Kansas City Chiefs have just been HIT with massive fines by the NFL after deliberately ignoring mandatory concussion protocol on star wide receiver Rashee Rice, and the consequences could end his career before age 25. It all went down in Week 14 against the Houston Texans. Late in the third quarter, Texans safety Jalen Pitre delivered a brutal (but legal) hit that sent Rashee Rice crashing to the turf. His body went limp, arms showed the classic “fencing posture” response linked to head trauma, and he immediately grabbed his helmet in pain. Any normal team would have rushed him straight to the blue medical tent. The Chiefs? They did NOTHING. No sideline evaluation. No concussion protocol activated. No explanation. Now the league has spoken: Kansas City has been found GUILTY of violating player safety rules and has been slapped with heavy fines just days after Mike Florio (Pro Football Talk) first exposed the incident. Sources say the penalties could climb into the hundreds of thousands, with potential loss of draft picks still on the table. Worse yet – independent neurologists are now warning that if Rice suffered an undetected concussion and was allowed back on the field, the long-term brain damage could be irreversible. We’re talking CTE risk, memory loss, and a very real chance his NFL career is already over at just 24 years old. This isn’t the league’s first rodeo: The New York Giants were fined $200K + Brian Daboll $100K just for peeking into the tent and yelling at doctors The Chiefs’ violation is being called “far more egregious” Rashee Rice has gone silent on social media and is reportedly undergoing extensive follow-up testing. Insider reports claim there’s a growing chance he misses the rest of the 2025 season – or worse. With Kansas City clinging to an 11% playoff chance and now drowning in this player-safety scandal, the reigning champs have officially become the NFL’s biggest villain of 2025. Was protecting a win that night worth potentially destroying a young star’s future? Drop your take below – no holding back.
