The Washington Commanders uncovered a potential gem at running back in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
But in the modern NFL, they could use another RB to pair with him.
Maybe that's Chris Rodriguez. Maybe that's Jeremy McNichols. It likely isn't Austin Ekeler after injury.
There will certainly be options in free agency.
One of them is Rachaad White. That's who Bleacher Report's Alex Kay thinks the Commanders should try and sign in free agency.
Kay predicts a contract of two years for $13 million total.
"The Washington Commanders could be an intriguing landing spot for White," Kay writes. "The back has a history with quarterback Jayden Daniels—playing together at Arizona State in 2021—and could round out a backfield that has a promising young piece in Jacory Croskey-Merritt but is set to lose both Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols this offseason."

White isn't a player viewed as a three-down contributor at this point.
He could pair nicely with JCM, who isn't seen as a pass catcher, while White is a high-quality pass catcher.
The Commanders had a rough season, but they'll be looking at 2026 as a chance at an immediate bounceback. Bolstering the backfield would be a step toward being able to do just that.
