The Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler may resort to remaining with the Chargers for another season as he struggles to find a new team that will commit to him beyond a single season.
Upon requesting a trade three weeks ago, Ekeler has been searching for a new team yet has been unable to find a suitable destination.
“When it comes down to what’s going on with the whole trade and all that stuff, really, look, we’re trying to find a long-term partner,” Ekeler stated during an interview on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio. “That’s what we want. We want someone who wants to sign us for a few years and sees us not just in the immediate future, but a couple of years out.”
Ekeler added that once his career with the Chargers hit a slump, he began his search for a new team in order to advance his career.
He insisted that he does not hold any ill feelings towards the Chargers organization, however, and that he would be willing to stay at the Chargers another year if need be, becoming a free agent afterward.
