The Washington Commanders have reportedly offered running back Brian Robinson Jr. around to other NFL teams.
Robinson, 26, has three seasons under his belt and has been efficient throughout his NFL career so far.
However, the former third-round NFL Draft pick out of Alabama is poised to enter the final year of his contract and the Commanders seemingly feel it's time to cash in, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
Robinson Jr. has rushed for more than 2,329 yards across the last three seasons and scored 20 touchdowns.
In the 2024 season, he started 13 of the 14 games he played in and had a career-best eight touchdowns from 187 carries for another career-best 799 yards.
His impressive numbers helped the Commanders make it to the NFC Championship Game, in which they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, as he linked up well with quarterback Jayden Daniels in his own remarkable rookie campaign.

The franchise's star receiver Terry McLaurin is also disgruntled after protracted contract talks
The Commanders are said to be happy with their running back depth, which also includes Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr.
It remains to be seen where Robinson Jr. could end up but it does mean the future of another Commanders star is up in the air.
The franchise's star wide receiver Terry McLaurin is also disgruntled after protracted contract talks have failed to yield a new deal.
The Commanders removed McLaurin from the physically unable to perform list early Saturday. While the two sides have yet to agree to a contract extension, it means McLaurin can return to practice and start preparing for the season.
Multiple outlets reported Saturday that there was no sign of movement on a deal.
Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that time was running short before the season for McLaurin to start getting reps on the field. Head coach Dan Quinn said there is a plan for McLaurin.
'We've got a real process in our return-to-play that we believe in. We know it works. So we'll hit all those steps,' he said Saturday.
The Commanders open the season at home on September 7 against the New York Giants, their NFC East rival.
