What happened: An informal poll of Cleveland Browns supporters showed an even split regarding whether the franchise should pursue a deal for Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. Los Angeles previously shut down Justin Herbert trade talk and turned away deadline inquiries.

Why it matters: Cleveland enters Week 8 atop the AFC North at 5-2 behind five fourth-quarter rallies, though quarterback Deshaun Watson is scheduled for free agency after the season. The Chargers remain winless at 0-6 while Herbert navigates career-low passing metrics under a contract featuring a no-trade clause.

What to watch: The NFL trade deadline closes on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET. Any substantial franchise discussions involving Herbert are projected to wait until the 2027 offseason.
