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.

Tre'von Moehrig Lavishes Praise on the One Who Replaced Him in His Absence
Can you believe it? A veteran star of the Carolina Panthers, Tre'von Moehrig, was suspended for a notorious "punch below the belt," but instead of being jealous, he's showering praise on his "replacement"! What's going on with this team? Read now for the "hot off the press" details from Week 13! The Carolina Panthers just caused an earthquake by defeating the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13, despite missing a slew of key players. Under the "wizardry" of head coach Dave Canales, the team showcased incredible resilience. But the real spotlight belongs to Tre'von Moehrig – the Panthers' top safety, who's sidelined due to a suspension after punching wide receiver Jauan Jennings from the San Francisco 49ers below the belt. Yet, instead of sulking, Moehrig watched from home and... "went wild" over the performance of the rookie who stepped in for him! That's none other than Lathan Ransom, the young gun selected in the 4th round of the draft, who "stole" Moehrig's spot and turned it into his own stage. Ransom not only led the team with 11 tackles but also made his mark with a "top-notch" sack! Moehrig, with his wealth of experience, couldn't hide his excitement: "Man, I was hype (for Lathan Ransom's sack). I could see it all as the play was happening. I was like, Oh, there you go. I could see it all the way. So I was happy for him to get his first sack. He had a great game, and I'm just excited. Sky's the limit for him." (Translation: "Oh man, I was so hyped (for Lathan Ransom's sack). I could see everything as the play unfolded. I was like, Oh, there you go. I saw it all the way. So I was happy for him to get his first sack. He had a great game, and I'm just excited. The sky's the limit for him." This "sweet as honey" praise from Moehrig not only affirms Ransom's talent but also raises the question: Is this "replacement" threatening the starting positions of Moehrig and Nick Scott – the current starting safety duo? Panthers fans have been "whispering" about this for a while, after witnessing Ransom shine in summer practices and his flashy cameo appearances. With this impressive performance, Ransom is sure to get more opportunities, especially as the Panthers are "heating up" in the race for the NFC South championship! At 23 years old, Ransom is seen as a "rough diamond" with explosive potential, thanks to the Panthers' sharp personnel strategy. And Moehrig? This guy was signed as a "bargain" from the free agent market, and his leadership and positive attitude have completely transformed the team's defense in just his first season. That influence is spreading strongly to Ransom – the kid who shares many similarities and is gradually "transforming" into a future star. But that's not all – the lesson from Moehrig is accelerating the "youth revolution" at the Panthers! With this public praise, Moehrig isn't just acknowledging Ransom's growth but also igniting ambition for the entire team. Will the Panthers continue to "soar high" with this new generation? Don't miss out – follow now for the next drama in the NFL!
