Vikings Inquired About Justin Herbert Trade

However, Los Angeles predictably shut that down and it didn’t go anywhere. Minnesota likely understood that going in and was just doing due diligence. 

Schultz points out Herbert has a no-trade clause in his contract, too. 

Los Angeles’ struggles this year have triggered some speculation about whether the team or Herbert would consider a split. But the Chargers have been resolute that they have never even considered the idea.

Herbert, 28, was taken with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft by the Chargers. He signed a four-year, $26,578,754 rookie contract that included a $16,890,003 signing bonus. 

The Chargers picked Herbert’s fifth-year option for the 2024 season before signing him to a five-year, $262.5 million extension. 

In 2026, Herbert has appeared in eight games for the Chargers and completed 61.3 percent of his passes for 1,591 yards, six touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
