The Washington Commanders are reportedly shopping Brian Robinson Jr. for a potential trade. That's not been confirmed by the club, but it'll be interesting to see if there is any weight behind these claims when final cuts are made on the not-too-distant horizon.

Regardless, this does nothing to diminish the hype around seventh-round rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt. If anything, it sends his stock to stratospheric levels after an exceptional transition over the summer.

Croskey-Merritt was taken No. 245 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, but he's not acting like a Day 3 afterthought. He's got a major chip on his shoulder and is putting it to good use.
