  "account": "The Los Angeles Chargers have firmly stated their stance on quarterback Justin Herbert, making it clear that discussions about trading him are not even on the table, according to a source within the organization. Despite the team's 0-5 start to the 2026 NFL season, the idea of moving Herbert has never been mentioned internally, nor will it ever, according to the source. This emphatic statement comes after a report from ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, who received the same message from a Chargers source. The speculation of trading Herbert emerged following a high-level league executive suggesting a potential trade for three first-round picks, but the source's response was unequivocal. The Chargers' 0-5 record, coupled with Herbert's inconsistent performance, has raised questions about the team's future, but current indications suggest the organization has no intention of trading their franchise quarterback.",
