Commanders 'Shopping' 20-Touchdown Weapon

REPORT: Commanders Looking to Trade Brian Robinson “For the Right Price”

Next Teams

Los Angeles Chargers

This fit depends on the status of running back Najee Harris. The former Steeler injured his eye in a fireworks accident, and nobody knows exactly what to expect from the free agent signee. While he is running and doing drills, the vague updates regarding his status make him a risk for the upcoming season. First-round pick Omarion Hampton is the future of this backfield, but Robinson can be an adequate short-term starter and change of pace back for what should be a run-heavy offense led by head coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys enter the 2025 season with the league’s worst collection of running backs, and it’s not particularly close. Veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders have not played like starting-caliber backs in years, and rookie Jaydon Blue is an unremarkable fifth-round pick. Running backs are the most replaceable position in football, but you still need a better grouping than this. The Commanders might not want to trade Brian Robinson to a division rival, but they may have no choice if Dallas makes the best offer.

Kansas City Chiefs

Isiah Pacheco is a fine starting running back, but there’s plenty of room for improvement here. While the former seventh-round pick has an entertaining rushing style, he’s nothing special as a receiver, and his subpar vision leads to missed opportunities in the run game. Brian Robinson may not be an elite pass-catcher himself, but the Commanders running back is better at following blocks and should be able to take advantage of what should be an above-average offensive line.
