Brian Robinson Trade ALERT! Commanders RB on the Move?

Is Brian Robinson Jr.'s time with the Washington Commanders coming to an end? Recent developments suggest the team is seriously considering trading or even cutting the running back. After the Commanders' preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, head coach Dan Quinn revealed that he and General Manager Adam Peters had a conversation with Robinson, informing him he wouldn't be playing in the game.

"There's just a lot of moving parts this time of year," Quinn stated, hinting at ongoing discussions regarding the roster. He emphasized the importance of transparency with the team, ensuring they hear news directly from him rather than through rumors.

The decision to hold Robinson out of the game fueled trade speculations. While it was initially unclear whether the Commanders would release him if a trade didn't materialize, Quinn's comments suggest a potential departure. When questioned about Robinson's reaction to the news, Quinn opted to keep the details private, acknowledging the difficulty of such conversations but emphasizing the respect they have for the player.

Dolphins Eyeing Robinson?

Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins are reportedly evaluating their running back options as they approach their final preseason game and the subsequent roster cutdown day. With numerous trades expected across the league, Robinson has emerged as a potential target for Miami.

The Dolphins could benefit from adding a player like Robinson. He has consistently produced solid numbers, averaging over 4.1 yards per carry and recording at least 700 rushing yards in his three seasons. In 2025, he had a career-high 799 rushing yards and eight touchdowns while splitting carries.

Robinson's Strengths

• Consistent and reliable runner
• Power back with a hard-running style
• Excellent at gaining yards after contact
• Effective in short-yardage situations

Robinson's power running style could complement De'Von Achane's elusiveness, addressing Miami's struggles in short-yardage situations. He converted 11 of 14 third- and fourth-down attempts with two or fewer yards to go last season. While the Dolphins brought in Alexander Mattison to help in that role, a season-ending injury puts Robinson back in the conversation.
