The Los Angeles Chargers granted running back Austin Ekeler permission to seek a trade this offseason, but the team still wants him back for 2023.
At least that is what head coach Brandon Staley told NFL Network's Steve Wyche:
"We've been in full communication with his team. I think there's alignment and a way forward. We want him to be a Charger. I think that that's something that (general manager) Tom (Telesco) has said. It's something I've said. We want this guy to be a Charger. We're also respectful of his position, and we're gonna see where it goes.
