Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is reportedly organizing a Zoom call with his peers at the position amid ongoing contractual issues between star ballcarriers and franchises across the league, according to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.
Per Florio’s report, all of the big name running backs have been invited, and the NFL Players Association will also be involved in the call in some capacity.
Ekeler is among several running backs this offseason who struggled to land long-term extensions with their clubs. As league front offices pivot away from paying what was once one of the most important positions on the field, stars like Ekeler, Saquon Barkley and others have been left out in the dark.
