Former Los Angeles Charger Austin Ekeler has signed a two-year deal with the Washington Commanders. The deal is worth up to $11 million. Ekeler had a disappointing season with the Chargers in 2023 and requested a trade, but ended up revising his contract instead.
Another running back is off the free agent board, as former Los Angeles Charger Austin Ekeler is joining the Washington Commanders on a two-year deal, according to multiple reports. Ekeler will play on a deal up to $11 million, ESPN reported, after completing his four-year deal that was worth $24.1 million with the Chargers last season.
Ekeler, 28, did not see eye to eye with the Chargers this past offseason, when he requested a trade after not being able to reach a long-term extension with the team. When a trade never went through, Ekeler agreed to an incentivized revision of his final year on the contract. He went on to have one of the worst seasons of his career with the Chargers in 2023, averaging just 3.5 yards per carry (628 total yards on 179 attempts) and scoring just five times after 13 and 12 touchdowns in 2022 and 2021 respectively. Ekeler is also known to be a receiving threat, making 107 receptions in 2022. However, he had just 51 for 436 yards last season over 14 games
