Former Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. shares his perspective on the surprising trade and how he plans to approach his new role.

Without Robinson, Washington will be working with veteran third-down back Austin Ekeler, special-teamer Jeremy McNichols, third-year ball-carrier Chris Rodriguez and seventh-round draft pick Bill Croskey-Merritt, a Sidney Lanier High School and Alabama State alumnus.

While most transactions will simply come in the form of a release, this is also a period of wheeling and dealing, as some players who are on the outside looking in on a roster spot with their current team hold trade value across the NFL.
