The Los Angeles Chargers, sitting at 0-4 and amid a historically rough start after back-to-back 11-win seasons, face renewed doubt about a potential sell-off by the Nov. 10 trade deadline as momentum stalls behind a struggling offense and a subpar Justin Herbert. Focus shifts to veteran pass rusher Khalil Mack and rising edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu, with teams across the league weighing potential moves to bolster their rotations or capitalize on expiring contracts. Possible destinations include a Mack return to Chicago or opportunistic landings with Baltimore, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Dallas, or Seattle, depending on fit and cost. The scenario foresees strategic asset harvesting to relieve immediate pressure while preserving long-term flexibility, with additional targets like Quentin Johnston, Donte Jackson, and David Njoku floated as potential barter chips. Looking ahead, the Chargers’ decision hinges on whether this season can still be salvaged or if retooling for a more competitive 2027 becomes the priority.
