Overview

  • Washington is fielding trade calls for Brian Robinson Jr. as he enters the final year of his rookie contract.
  • Jacory Croskey-Merritt’s impressive preseason and a backfield featuring Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. have shifted Washington’s depth chart.
  • Robinson has amassed around 2,300 rushing yards and 20 total touchdowns across three seasons while carrying a modest 2025 salary.
  • Analysts have identified possible landing spots including the Cowboys, Chiefs, Texans, 49ers, Chargers, Bears and Jaguars, though none have firm offers.
  • Any deal hinges on Washington receiving an acceptable return before parting with its lead back, with no trade imminent absent an offer that meets its valuation.
