Chargers' Austin Ekeler Calls for Meeting to Address Players' Market Concerns

Los Angeles Chargers' running back Austin Ekeler is organizing a Zoom meeting for NFL running backs to discuss their "depressed market" and determine their next steps. The meeting, scheduled for Saturday night, has invited all big-name running backs, with the NFL Players Association expected to be involved. Running backs like Josh Jacobs, Saquon Barkley, and Tony Pollard were franchise tagged this offseason, while Pittsburgh Steelers' RB Najee Harris expressed frustration on Twitter. Finding a solution to the running back market may be challenging, as the latest CBA runs through 2030, and organizing a player strike on a mass scale would be difficult.
