New RB
The Washington Commanders entered the NFL’s legal tampering period with the most salary cap space in the league, and they have been spending today. They agreed to terms with three players already, and have now repoedly signed Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler to a two-year deal.
Washington lost RB Antonio Gibson earlier in the day when he reportedly agreed to a 3-year deal with the New England Patriots. Ekeler will join Brian Robinson Jr. and Chris Rodriguez Jr. In Washington’s new offense led by OC Kliff Kingsbury

Austin Ekeler gets a $3 million signing bonus and $4.82M total in Year 1, with a chance to earn another $1.5M in incentives this season. A big addition for the new regime in Washington. https://t.co/qv7basPY0m
