It’s official. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-robinson-jr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brian Robinson</a> got traded from the Washington Commanders to the San Francisco 49ers. This means one problem solved for the NFC East team as they still have to solve the Terry McLaurin situation. However, how does their running back depth chart looks like now that Robinson is gone?



Much has been said about seventh-round rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt climbing on the depth chart. The rookie has impressed throughout the preseason and is poised for relevancy. Also, there is Austin Ekeler, a proven <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> veteran that has always been productive. Chris Rodriguez Jr. also brings plenty of depth as he has also done good things recently. Finally, Jeremy McNichols could be the last piece on a loaded running back room.



Per Adam Schefter’s report, the ESPN insider said the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Commanders</a> are receiving a 2026 sixth-round pick. This seems low for a player who had 958 scrimmage yards with eight touchdowns. However, if your own team is actively shopping you, the market will adjust.



<h2>All eyeballs are on Croskey-Merritt</h2>



Even the team’s website is hyping up the rookie. Since his arrival, he has been so impressive that everyone is raving about him. He just mauled the Bengals in preseason. ‘JCM‘ had 11 carries for 46 yards that includes a 27-yard house call. As soon as he scored, the stadium erupted. Coincidentally, that might’ve been the final nail in the coffin for Brian Robinson’s stay in Washington. Now, he gets to play his part on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">49ers</a>.

Many teammates have praised Croskey-Merrit’s vision and ability to get upfield. His cuts and intelligence have also made waves on the coaching staff. While the unofficial depth chart has him second to Ekeler, it wouldn’t be shocking at all if he ends up being the first in command.

<h2>There are other two names on the Commanders RB room</h2>



Aside from the names mentioned above, the Commanders also have Demetric Felton and Kazmeir Allen on the roster. However, it’s safe to say they will be either cut from the 53-man final roster or spend much of the season on the practice squad.



Felton was a sixth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. However, he’s been more lined up as a receiver than a running back in his few snaps as a pro. As for Allen, he was also first regarded as a wideout, then transitioned into the running back slot too. He has been an on-and-off presence on the team since 2023. Given the issue with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/terry-mclaurin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Terry McLaurin</a>, maybe the versatility is something the Commanders have in mind to keep them around.

Who understands the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders</a>? They have taken a not-so-used route during this offseason. After seeing Jayden Daniels deliver one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history, they’ve now decided to engage in a months-long contractual battle with their best wide receiver, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/terry-mclaurin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Terry McLaurin</a>, and now, it seems like they are shopping another key name on the offense.



Brian Robinson Jr. has been the best running back on the team for the last three years. However, it seems Washington would see him out if a good deal can be made. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> insider, Jordan Schultz, reported that Brian Robinson Jr. will be shopped if someone manages to entice the Commanders enough.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-robinson-jr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Robinson</a> was scheduled to be the starting back of the team. He is entering the final year of his contract and is poised to make $3.406 million in base salary. Jayden Daniels might have to rely on another running back for next season.



<h2>Brian Robinson might be a victim to a new face</h2>



Much has been said about seventh-round pick Jacory Croskey-Merritt. However, when Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. are on the roster, you’d assume the one that loses his spot is not the starter. The Commanders think otherwise.

Robinson is fresh off a career-high eight touchdowns. He will have some suitors. As for the Commanders, it seems like Ekeler and rookie Croskey-Merritt will take the load of the running game. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-commanders-sign-former-tua-tagovailoa-receiver-after-terry-mclaurins-trade-request"></div>


<h2>Croskey-Merritt is making a run for the starting job</h2>



Ekeler is a proven veteran in the NFL. But, then again, it’s Croskey-Merritt impressing everyone on the staff. Commanders will play Croskey-Merritt in their second game of preseason against the Bengals. If he impresses, he will surely make the decision of promoting him an easier one.



Kliff Kingsbury has been a very good offensive coordinator for this team. Still, it’s not like the team has made it easy for him. He has to work without Terry McLaurin for now, which is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jayden Daniels</a>‘ best weapon, but now he might need to change running back workloads as well.

Although he always worked behind names like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/steelers-gm-says-najee-harris-will-take-their-offense-to-a-new-level-20210507-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Najee Harris</a> and Josh Jacobs, Brian Robinson Jr was a solid playerat the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/ncaa-football-jackson-state-coach-deion-sanders-livid-at-nick-sabans-statement-that-the-university-paid-travis-hunter-to-join-program-20220519-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University ofAlabama</a> with high hopes in the NFL after being drafted by the Washington Commanders. For example, in 2021, Robinson earned the MVP Award at the Cotton Bowl after a school-record performance in a bowl game with 204 yards. That season was the key to establish himself as a NFL prospect with this total stat line: 1343 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Considering Alabama is a magnificent program to develop <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/mac-jones-shares-blunt-advise-for-fellow-alabama-star-bryce-young-20220110-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offensive players</a>, especially running backs, Brian Robinson Jr worked hard to clincha spot in the NFL.
