Trade Speculation Surrounds Justin Herbert Amid Chargers' Struggles

The Los Angeles Chargers have not yet engaged in discussions about trading quarterback Justin Herbert, despite the team's disappointing performance this season, which has left them at 0-6 as they enter their Week 7 bye.

This situation has prompted speculation, particularly after head coach Jim Harbaugh indicated that no options should be ruled out given the team's struggles. NFL insider Jason La Canfora suggested that Herbert could potentially be traded before the November 10 deadline, noting that a change could be driven by ownership concerns following the team's poor start.

Herbert, who signed a five-year contract extension worth $262.5 million in 2023, has struggled this season, ranking last among qualified quarterbacks with a 29.9 adjusted QBR. Discussions about his future may intensify if the Chargers continue to perform poorly, with some executives believing that a trade might be more likely in the offseason.
