The NFL trade deadline is upon us, and all eyes will be on the Chargers.
After a disappointing and underwhelming start to the season, the Chargers are among the teams projected to land the No. 1 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. Los Angeles remains the only winless team in the league, and many would think the Chargers would trade away some of their premier players to contenders.
However, according to The Athletic’s Noah Furtado, theChargers will likely stand pat.
"The trade deadline is Tuesday, and they don’t see themselves as sellers, according to reporting from The Athletic. They don’t want to send the wrong message. Trading veterans would apparently mean giving up on the season."
The Chargers' 0-8 start is their worst since the 2000 season.
The organization
doesn't want to send the wrong message and is hell-bent on turning things around. However, there is no shame in waving the white flag, especially when they sit at 0-8.
The offense is bad, the defense can only do so much, and the coaching has been atrocious. Everyone seems to have taken three steps back, especially Justin Herbert.
The Chargers' offense went 37 consecutive drives without a touchdown before finally recording one in the fourth quarter against the Texans. Herbert threw it just before he left the game with a finger injury.
The Chargers are a mess, but they likely won't make any changes by Tuesday's deadline.
