Signed 2-year $12M (vs. White's 1-year $2M); 2025: 73 targets, 537 yards, 5 TDs; career: never exceeded 364 rushing yards before 2025. Comments: 'I just don't see it with Gainwell'; 'Kenneth in 5 years only has 12 more career rushing yards than Bucky in 27 games'; 'he's a carry backup who benefitted by being on team with no WRs.'

Signed 2-year $12M deal (vs. Rachaad White's 1-year $2M with Commanders). 2025: 73 targets, 537 rushing yards, 5 TDs in career-high role. Community debate: some see him as pass-down/receiving back replacing White; others skeptical he'll vulture significant carries from Irving. Gainwell career: 537 rushing yards and 5 TDs best season; prior to 2025 never exceeded 364 yards. Comments note he's year-6 RB on third team with modest career resume; one argues 'Gainwell is a carry backup who benefitted by being on team with no WRs.' Consensus: value play if Irving gets injured or loses role, but not preferred over Irving as starter.
