It looks like teams rally have been calling the Chargers about Justin Herbert’s availability during this tumultuous 0-8 season.
Per NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Vikings made a number of calls around the league while searching for an available quarterback. That group apparently included Herbert, Geno Smith, and Daniel Jones. Unsurprisingly, the Chargers shut down every inquiry in regards to Herbert on top of the fact he has a no-trade clause in his contract.
So while this seems like a whole lot of nothing, it’s still interesting to see a contender go out on a limb and try to pry away a long-time franchise guy. If Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz really are keeping the door shut on a number of players that SHOULD be moved at the deadline, then there is no reality where they would ever consider moving the one player that made their jobs so enticing in the first place.
