Restricted free-agent running back Austin Ekeler and the Chargers have agreed to a four-year, $24.5 million deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The deal includes $15 million guaranteed and Ekeler could make up to $26 million in incentives, reports Schefter. The two sides have reportedly been negotiating the deal since early January.
Under the new deal, Ekeler will become a free agent after the 2023 season. He developed into a key member of the Chargers' backfield over the past two years, including when Melvin Gordon's holdout extended into the start of the 2019 season.
