COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Running back Austin Ekeler didn't get what he wanted this offseason in terms of a long-term extension and pay raise from the Los Angeles Chargers, but he did get something when the organization added $1.75 million in incentives to his expiring four-year, $24.5 million deal.
Ekeler vowed Thursday after the second practice of training camp that his contract situation would not be a distraction to his play on the field.
However, that doesn't mean Ekeler will give up fighting for his and the future paydays of other running backs across the NFL when time allows.
