Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier had an opportunity to add a physical running back to his roster, but instead, he was left with his team holding nothing but an empty bag.
Rumors were pointing to the Washington Commanders trading running back Brian Robinson Jr. to the Dolphins in a deal that would have given Miami a tough and physical inside running back, something they lack. Instead, Robinson is heading to the San Francisco 49ers, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport on Friday.
The trade was a cheap one, as San Francisco only sent the Commanders a sixth-round pick in next year's NFL Draft to acquire the veteran running back.
