Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is requesting permission to speak with other teams about a potential trade after extension talks with the team did not progress, his agent Cameron Weiss told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Ekeler is entering the final year of his contract and stands to make about $6 million for the 2023 season.
Ekeler is in line to be an unrestricted free agent in 2024.
The undrafted running back out of Western State back in 2017 played in all 17 games last year and rushed for 915 yards to go along with 107 receptions for 722 yards and 18 total touchdowns.
