Spotrac tweeted: "RB Brian Robinson is set to earn $3.406M in 2025, the final year of his rookie contract. If a trade partner can't be found, the Commanders will take on a $212k dead cap hit to move on from him this week, freeing up that $3.4M."

Coach Dan Quinn said he spoke to Robinson on Sunday afternoon, and there are “a lot of moving parts.” “News like that’s always not easy,” Quinn said regarding his conversation with Robinson.

Ahead of the August 26 roster cuts deadline, NFL teams are making and taking calls for players on the roster bubble. The Washington Commanders may be willing to trade their starting running back.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn all but confirmed the team's desire to trade Brian Robinson Jr., but that might not be a bad thing at all.

Hendrickson’s relationship with the Bengals has been rocky for months. The team gave him permission to seek a trade in March, but no trade partner emerged. He also skipped the first week of training camp while he and the franchise negotiated an extension. He did report to camp on July 30 but has not participated in practice.

After the game, Commanders coach Dan Quinn said that both he and G.M. Adam Peters spoke to Robinson on Sunday afternoon, and there are “a lot of moving parts” to the situation. Quinn also said that he met with the team on Sunday night to explain the situation. Quinn said he always wants the players to hear things from him first.

The Washington Commanders’ offense was electric early against the Cincinnati Bengals. Yes, it is preseason, but the Washington Commanders and Jayden Daniels are making it really hard not to overreact to what has been put on the field, and the opening drive against the Cincinnati Bengals will have fans ecstatic with their 2025 prospects.

The performance of seventh-round rookie Jacorey Croskey-Merritt also plays a factor in the organization's decision on Robinson. Croskey-Merritt, who began his college career at Alabama State, is the fifth total running back on the squad as of this writing. Obviously, that many will not be carried into the regular season.
