The Washington Commanders aren’t loaded with running back depth, but their reported willingness to move starter Brian Robinson Jr. is something the New England Patriots might have their eye on.
Not necessarily because the Patriots should pursue Robinson. Rather, a Robinson trade could set a market for running back moves ahead of cutdown day, and it might give New England a trade partner.
Rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson has starred in training camp and preseason games, putting Rhamondre Stevenson’s role in jeopardy. It would be a gamble to lean heavily on Henderson and Antonio Gibson, but Stevenson’s name has been kicked around as one in need of a big 2025 — an indication of his standing in the organization right now.
