Austin Ekeler feels disrespected by Chargers' contract negotiations.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler expressed disappointment with the team's refusal to discuss a new contract, stating that he felt disrespected by the organization. Despite feeling underpaid, Ekeler recognizes that he has another year on his contract and will have to play out his deal if the Chargers don't give him a new contract or trade him to a team that will. With NFL teams not spending much on running backs, Ekeler's best bet may be to play for $6.25 million this year and hope to play well enough to get more than that in free agency next year.
