Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler received permission from the team to explore trade options, but he's yet to find a team willing to commit to him beyond a short-term deal.

Ekeler opened up about his situation on Tuesday during an appearance on SiriuxXM Fantasy Sports Radio.

"When it comes down to what's going on with the whole trade and all that stuff, really, look, we're trying to find a long-term partner," Ekeler said. "That's what we want. We want someone who wants to sign us for a few years and sees us not just in the immediate future, but a couple years out.
