On Monday, Chargers fans were treated to the unfortunate news that the team and Austin Ekeler’s camp could not make any progress on a potential contract extension and that the running back would be seeking permission to look for a potential trade partner, via his agent Cameron Weiss.
Well, Weiss let it be known that that permission was granted on Tuesday which means Ekeler is now free to search out his own potential trade partner in an attempt to find a team that will pay him what he deserves after scoring 38 touchdowns over the past two seasons despite playing for an average of $4.
