# Should the Vikings trade for Justin Herbert?

Short answer: **No, and it's not happening.**

The Chargers have explicitly stated they are **not considering a Justin Herbert trade** — even though they're 0-5 and considered deadline sellers (from the Tuli Tuipulotu page, referencing an Oct 15 report titled *"Chargers Not Considering Justin Herbert Trade"*). They're open to moving veterans like Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu, but Herbert is viewed as their franchise cornerstone. Jim Harbaugh and Herbert are a "proven pairing," and the team just hired Mike McDaniel to unlock Herbert's potential.

Meanwhile, the Vikings are **5-0** and have already committed to Kyler Murray as their long-term QB after trading J.J. McCarthy to the Giants. They're positioned as buyers at the deadline, but for tight end depth — not a $50M+ franchise QB.

So even if it's fun to dream about Herbert throwing to Justin Jefferson, neither side has any interest in making that happen.
