The Washington commanders have just one running back locked in for 2026, Rookie Jacori Kroski-Marit. He had a solid first year with 805 rushing yards, eight touchdowns, and 4.6 yards per carry on average. Other backs like Chris Rodriguez Jr., Jeremy McNichols, and Austin Eckler are hitting free agency. Some inside of say they want a powerful early downrunner after the run game dipped when Eckler got hurt last season. They see Kroski-Marit as more of a backup option. Analysts are buzzing about potential targets. On the football 301 podcast, Matt Harmon predicted the commanders will land Seattle's Kenneth Walker III calling him an explosive fit. Under-center. That prediction follows others, linking Washington to top backs. The Seahawks skipped the franchise tag on Walker, making him a free agent soon unless they extend him.
