Travis Etienne

"The figurative writing was on the wall for Etienne and Lloyd in the last month when the Jaguars extended receiver Jakobi Meyers and left tackle Cole Van Lanen to ensure they wouldn't hit the market," O'Halloran writes, continuing: "Did the Jaguars choose Meyers/Van Lanen over Etienne/[Devin] Lloyd? Ultimately, yes." If Etienne does leave Jacksonville, O'Halloran believes Bhayshul Tuten will be the No. 1 back in 2026 with LeQuint Allen as the "No. 2/third-down back/kick returner." Etienne isn't much of a between-the-tackles pounder (see Trevor Lawrence's red zone rushing role) and is probably a better committee back, but he might have a chance to find his way into a No. 1 role in free agency after a strong 2025 season.

Jaguars running back Travis Etienne shared some advice for quarterback Trevor Lawrence when he spoke to reporters on Monday, but the two players may not be on the same team the next time they take the field.

The Jaguars' eight-game winning streak and their season came to an end against the Bills on Sunday, but there's a lot of optimism about the team's future after their 13-win season.

Etienne carried the ball 10 times for 67 yards and caught all five of his targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 27-24 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round Sunday.
