Austin Ekeler wants out

As I said in the other thread, this makes me think the Chargers will end up drafting Bijan Robinson.

I'd give him bout tree fiddy

They have a couple of RBs on their roster that they could go with. Spiller and Kelley.

Let me be the one that gets out in front of this and say he'll never be a Chief in spite of the fact that he would rape souls in this offense.

I just feel like Bijan is going to be too hard to pass up for a team with a need outside of the top 20. He's arguably top 10 in this class.

He probably wants too much money, but he'd look awful good in this offense.

Yeah, its certainly not happening this season, as they'd never trade him to us.

But he is a FA next year. If he doesn't get traded + extended, who knows what could happen next year? Although I doubt Veach puts money into a RB with that much mileage.

I like Ekeler. In addition to being an incredible athlete, he seems to be an intelligent dude with a good head on his shoulders.

And, yeah, he would be insane in this offense (not that I'd ever want to commit the resources it'd take to get/keep him).

He’s what CEH was supposed to be.

There it is again.

Everybody's laughing and having a good time shitting on our enemies, and you waltz into a thread saying, "I mean.... this guy seems nice... good dude and great player!"

You're one step away from posting highlights of the few big plays he's made against the Chiefs in the past couple of years just to draw attention to yourself and say, "Look at me! I'm impartial and a totally dispassionate football fan!!!!!"

An agent ploy.. He’s not going anywhere..

Over rated piece of shit who probably drinks his beer with a straw

ROFL ROFL ROFL

He's only 27? I would have guessed 29 or 30. At 27, he might still warrant a 5th-round pick somewhere.
