I mean if he wants to dictate his workload by not running the ball as a running back in the NFL good riddance. Like thats what you get paid to do and to complain in such a public manner is of poor taste.
As a Raiders fan, I hate that I liked Ekeler so much. Dude is so chill and a stud. Hope he kills it with the commanders this year. I think that offense will be a sneaky top 10
@@Daetwiz3463-21 ???😂 you guys hold on to that game like it meant something, Herbert out for a szn and we had 7 back up’s playin. If you want to own basically a pre season win go ahead 😂😂😂
Huge huge Ekeler fan, but the reason was money. The Chargers signed two more backs, and are paying their entire rb room combined less money than Ekeler signed for with Washington. A committee approach is obvious; there is no expectation of a 300-carry back in the Greg Roman offense next year.
Yo Austin. I have watched you in person at Levi stadium every game of your Chargers career. The most memorable performance of you is your 2017 preseason game vs the Niners. You gave me hope as a Chargers fan. You wore #3 and played strong, hard, and raw. Amazing career you have made for yourself. Keep promoting yourself CEO Eck.
As a lifelong Washington fan,AE is very welcomed. I do thing that the Chargers didn't want him after a subpar last season. But the two previous seasons, he was a stud. He seems happy now so looking forward to a combo tandem of BR jr and AE in Washington. Hail to the Commanders!!!
There's a great story about Ekeler and Lynn in Austin's rookie season. Early in training camp Austin came in to Coach Lynn's office and asked him what he needed to do to make the team. Lynn replied, "First, who are you?" Now everybody knows.
Love hearing about having 1 rb have 300 attempts, as we then hire Greg Roman… and we sign Gus, and Dobbins… tf he mean? We would have never signed dobbins if he decided to stay
I love the way you make that sound that Eckler bolted away from the chargers so let me update you with the correct term or version. Austin Ekeler was going to be cut because he was a horrible running back. He had fumble -itis Butterfingers good riddance.😂😂😂
He is a small back that played behind a poor OL last year and on two sprained ankles. With the right team he can do well as his previous seasons were with the chargers. If the charger were better at adding depth he probably would have dropped to the RB 2 position a year or two ago, but that's why the charges have a new GM.
Yah…..pretty juvenile evaluation…he shouldn’t have ever been a full time 3 down back…telescos inability to ever bring in a bigger back to balance the running game created the Austin Eckler one man backfield…Ronny Harmon….Sproles…Eckler…all good backs…none were bell cow every down 3 down backs…he’s not here because he got more money than our top 4 backs got combined.
He wanted feature back money, but doesn’t wanna run all the time. He tanked last season out of spite. I appreciated what he did until he threw a fit when asked to be traded and NO ONE WANTED HIM.
The guy is a good player. Herbert will miss him. You don't discard quality guys so blithely. Kinda surprised Harbaugh would do that. I'd get a heavy downhill back, and then play Ekler the rest of the time.
Heres a quote if you werent there to witness the talks personally and you dont know then personally you really dont know a thing about the situation- Noel G everyone always blames the player the team never gets blame
Ekler Is Just Salty… Great Catching Back But Too Tiny To Run For A Needed Yard… Heck He Even Was Picked Up By The Opposing Team To Make A Touchdown… Thanks For What He Did, if We Had A BIG RUNNING BACk We Could’ve Won Some Of Them Games…
honestly this dude is full of it they just knew this guy was not it he was one of the most horrible rb stats wise just running the ball beside that he is a really good tandem back and to throw it too /screen like a sproles or dannywoodhead . he actually had 200 carries for 2 years straight and edwards no jk dobbins had anywhere near lmao
As a lifelong fan good riddance eckler you're not a real running back let's see how good you do without Justin Herbert in good riddance to Keenan Allen also he chose money over a team Joey bosa and Max showed their men have my full support I doubted Joey before and I have a 100 percent back this man for what he did
Chargers will regret not paying this man. I can see Harbaugh go back to the college game in 2 years. He will never get the Super Bowl chip like his brother.
ekler had one of the worst running stats not stats by catching hes a good rb but hes like a sproles/woodhead not a starter , we now have 3 solid rbs and now an oline so we good fam
As a long time BOLTZ fan I really wish Austin the best. He is one of the best humans a team could have. Total class guy.

You do realize he is getting paid less right? Lol😂
@@malorybrowning6926no he's making more than the Chargers offered
Ekeler is a 1000-yard talker.

Rivers played a big part in the chargers keeping him as well.
@@huejaynus3134 I remember that Rivers went up to Lynn during training camp and asked, "Who's that guy that keeps making plays?"
@@timothywayne3813 exactly. had such a prominent leader like rivers not mention ek, he likely wouldv been cut.

He's one of our best players.. perfect fit for Washington...😊
Money, it was for money...
That’s easy. Money.

Nothing but love for Ek , I hope he kicks but in Washington !!!
Harbaugh didn’t want him
Eckler is all about eckler

He wanted more money, but less carries.. pass
Once again….easy answer….money. He’s getting more over 2 years than our top 4 rb’s…..combined.
Still love Ekeler! He's y dude

Anthony Lynn requested for him to go the commanders?! Ohh boy good luck buddy 😅💀
Payne/Allen 2 Tackles MNF First 2 Games 5 ...Pay is 160 Million. hmm? ..... IF They don't cook againt Cardnilals Trade Them
You mean “got” bolted? Lol
Quit on the team last year, new regime didn't want him.
Ekler left the Chargers for one thing. Money. That’s cool, but be real too.
Ekeler is going to ballout in Washington.
Chargers will regret not paying this man. I can see Harbaugh go back to the college game in 2 years. He will never get the Super Bowl chip like his brother.
No they won't, Melvin Gordon was that perfect example on why.

Ekeler seems to be gearing into his retirement life. Not sure he will be a viable fantasy option any longer.
he looked like he ran a 4.9 last year
More like a 5.1🤣
Yeah Austin ekeler and his fake injuries holding out to play games b******* good riddance
The biggest reason? The Kansas City Chiefs
Nah, he’s a bad running back
What the story here, the Chargers did not to pay him, so they let him go to Washington. Who cares...
