Should the Eagles trade for Austin Ekeler?

The Eagles could lose both Miles Sanders and Boston Scott to free agency, but the team could have some interesting options in the coming days, including Chargers RB Austin Ekeler. The running back was reportedly granted permission to seek a trade after talks for a contract extension fell apart.

Ekeler is 27 years old and is coming off his second consecutive season with over 1,500 total offensive yards. He finished the 2022 NFL season with 204 carries for 915 yards and a career-high 13 TDs, not to mention his 107 receptions for an additional 722 yards and 5 more TDs.
