Chargers keep Ekeler with revised deal after trade request

Ekeler will remain with the Chargers for the 2023 season after agreeing to a revised contract with $1.75 million in incentives.
Ekeler had previously requested a trade and criticized the Chargers for failing to give him a contract extension.
Ekeler led the NFL with 18 touchdowns last season and has scored 38 total touchdowns over the past two seasons.
The revised deal allows Ekeler to earn more money this season and still become a free agent in 2024.
Chargers coach Brandon Staley expects Ekeler to attend mandatory minicamp despite his previous unhappiness with the organization.
