A number of running backs in the NFL remain dissatisfied with how their position is being valued, and Austin Ekeler isn't letting that issue slide into the background.
The Los Angeles Chargers running back has been a leading voice among running backs, speaking up when Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs failed to reach deals with their respective teams before the franchise tag deadline. . Since then, he's been getting NFL running backs together on Zoom calls to discuss the overall situation and to educate each other about what's going on. And he plans to continue those calls.Ekeler recently told USA Today.
Ekeler has honed in on what he believes is the main issue with running back compensation: the franchise tag. Because not only does it prevent players from being fairly compensated for the value they provide on the field, it also fails to consider the value of the leadership they bring off the field and in the locker room.
There's a goal to all this beyond positional solidarity. Ekeler wants to completely eliminate the franchise tag in the future.
