What happened: External calls have mounted urging the Los Angeles Chargers to trade quarterback Justin Herbert before the deadline. Outside commentary encourages the franchise to move the former first-round selection elsewhere rather than hold him through an extended rebuild.

Why it matters: Los Angeles sits at 0-7 through seven games in 2026, ranking 16th in the AFC following a 24-9 defeat against the Los Angeles Rams. The Chargers have maintained that no fire sale is planned and have kept Herbert off the trade market. Parting with Herbert would mark a dramatic shift for an organization that selected him sixth overall in 2020.

By the numbers: Herbert has completed 131 of 212 passes for 1,398 yards with five touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2026 through seven games. Los Angeles is 0-7 through seven games and carries a seven-game losing streak.

What to watch: The NFL trade deadline arrives Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET. The Chargers next look to snap their seven-game skid in Week 10.
