The NFL trade conversation around quarterback Justin Herbert expands as the Los Angeles Chargers begin the season with an 0-2 record. Two outlets report that an NFL insider believes rival teams could increase interest and place calls if the team continues to lose.
The reports frame the chatter as conditional: Herbert is already drawing trade talk after the early struggles, but the volume and likelihood of inquiries depend on how quickly Los Angeles’ results deteriorate. Both sources point to the possibility that teams monitoring the Chargers’ performance may reach out if the losing streak continues.
While the outlets align on the existence of growing trade rumors, they differ mainly in emphasis. NDTV focuses on the idea that Herbert could receive additional trade calls if the Chargers keep losing, whereas Yahoo Sports similarly describes potential calls but highlights the broader “rumors” angle. Neither report presents confirmed negotiations or specific offers, and the discussion centers on whether rival teams would contact the Chargers as the season progresses.
