Chargers Reject Trade Offers for Justin Herbert Ahead of NFL Draft

The Los Angeles Chargers turned down multiple trade inquiries for quarterback Justin Herbert from the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings, reinforcing their commitment to him as their franchise player.

The Los Angeles Chargers received trade requests for Justin Herbert from the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings but firmly rejected them.
Chargers General Manager Joe Hortiz emphasized that trading Herbert was 'never an option,' dismissing the possibility at the NFL combine.
Despite speculation due to new coach Jim Harbaugh's connections, the Chargers remain committed to Herbert, who begins a significant contract extension in 2025.
Both the Patriots and Vikings subsequently selected quarterbacks in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft after their inquiries were rebuffed.
Herbert, a key player for the Chargers, had his 2023 season cut short by injury but is central to the team's future plans.
