Chargers RB Austin Ekeler Requests A Trade And Los Angeles Signs All-Pro LB Eric Kendricks

Locked On Chargers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers saw fireworks on Day 1 of free agency, but the biggest surprise was Austin Ekeler requesting a trade after extension talks failed. He has far exceeded his contract, but the Chargers smartly are weighing their options. Los Angeles did dip into the free agent pool bringing in former Vikings LB Eric Kendricks. Does this mean saying goodbye to Drue Tranquill? Kendricks is the older option but does bring a skillset that will improve the Chargers defense in a couple of key areas. Monday also marked when teams have to tender their restricted free agents but Donald Parham and Breiden Fehoko were allowed to test the market. The guys give their arguments to bring both back in some capacity but understand they could find greener pastures elsewhere.
