Should the Giants trade for Justin Herbert? 👀 @T_Armstead72 believes they should. #justfootball https://t.co/Tpznl0vff Via @NFLonCBS on X

What happened: @T_Armstead72 said the New York Giants should pursue Justin Herbert on Just Football. The pitch arrived one day after Herbert trade talk was shut down.

Why it matters: New York tied 27-27 in Week 5 while working through quarterback questions. Adding a passer who threw 26 touchdowns in 2025 would move the timeline from stopgap to long-term starter.

By the numbers: Herbert completed 340 of 512 passes for 3,727 yards with 26 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 16 games in 2025 (per ESPN, as of 2026-09-29).

What to watch: New York's quarterback decisions before the midseason deadline will show whether this idea gains traction or fades.
