Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. has been traded to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick, according to a person familiar with the situation. The move ends speculation that Washington would cut ties with its incumbent starting running back.
The trade is seen as a strategic decision to free up cap space and potentially acquire another player in future rounds.
