Brian Robinson Jr.

The Athletic’s Ben Standig believes Brian Robinson could be a “possible or surprising” trade candidate this offseason.

Standig doesn’t seem to present the idea as something that’s sure to happen, but in a mailbag question aimed about recouping picks, he mentioned that Robinson and tackle Andrew Wylie were two players who could be traded for draft capital in 2026. “Meanwhile, two of Robinson’s coaches in Washington, Randy Jordan (Tennessee Titans) and Eric Bieniemy (Chicago Bears), head running back rooms with incomplete depth charts,” Standig notes. The Commanders haven’t really seemed sold on Robinson in flirting heavily with this year’s draft class at running back before taking Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the seventh tround, and it would make some sense to deal him before the season if they don’t intend to re-sign him.
