Brian Robinson Trade Reveals Team Intentions
- Washington's trade of Brian Robinson signals they're dumping salary and retooling the backfield role distribution.
- Shanahan naming Robinson the #2 in San Francisco hints Washington doesn't fully trust their incumbent backups.
Wait On Miami Backfield Clarity
- Monitor Dolphins' running-back injuries and possible post-cut signings before drafting their late-round backs.
