The word I'm hearing from different people regarding Justin Herbert

The things people fall for

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Whatever the truth is, Herbert couldn't elevate his team to score more than three points in the second half vs the Jags. He was not clutch like a a Super Bowl winning QB should be, therefore I'd rather have Stafford for 2-3 years more than the Renter's QB.

Gotta heavily disagree here. I highly, highly, highly (while I get high too) so extra highly doubt we'd get Herbert but Stafford is closer to retiring than not. Herbert would be an awesome get and just as talented as Stafford. Once again, I don't see it happening though.

Chargers would be a laughingstock

Maybe they'll trade him for Havenstien.

 

[Ram65]

Herbert to the Rams was a nice fantasy thought for a moment.

 

[PARAM]

It's probably just a book keeping issue. Depends on what his 2024 option year is going to cost. Maybe they could sign him to an extension and absorb less of a cap hit in 2024 and 2025.

The Chargers will likely start talks with Herbert’s agent about a long-term extension during the offseason. Because he made the Pro Bowl last year, Herbert’s fifth-year option will be the franchise transition tag. Those figures will be announced early in March, but early projections are at least $30.4 million.

The Chargers might also wait to see if Cincinnati signs Joe Burrow to an extension this year, which would set the market for Herbert, Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa and Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts.

Herbert, Chargers go into offseason with plenty of questions

Justin Herbert finally made it to the playoffs in his third year with the Los Angeles Chargers, only to see the season end again in excruciating fashion. Despite going 10-7 in the regular season, the Chargers will stew after blowing the third-largest lead in postseason history. Since entering...

I don’t know about Herbert to the Rams. Would probably need to give up Rob Havenstein to make it work, and none of us would want to do that …

I think for this rumour to have any legitimacy, the Vikings would have to throw Hunter in the mix.

 

[TexasRam]

Chill out yall. Oldnotdead knows some very important insiders.

 

[AvengerRam]

I heard the same thing… except it was about Bobby Hebert.

 

[dieterbrock]

I wonder if this was a tip from the same guy who said the Eagles were gonna trade Hassan Reddick at the trade deadline

 

[TSFH Fan]

I heard the same thing… except it was about Bobby Hebert.

Coincidentally, the update guy on, I think it was 710 in LA, kept calling him Justin Ay-bear (or "Eh-bear" or "A-Bear") this week.

Well, your source is quite frankly an idiot who should probably learn math before trying to understand football.
Being "cheap" is irrelevant since the team will spend annually in accordance to what the cap will allow.
If the Cap is 250 mill in 2024, it doesnt matter if Herbert is getting 20 mill or 0, they will still be spending (in theory) 250 mill

So it does actually matter to a degree because of upfront bonuses. But I still call bullshit on the OP's claim.

So it does actually matter to a degree because of upfront bonuses.

Yeah the fact that all guaranteed money has to be put into escrow at the time of signing was a revelation to me this year. It now makes sense why cash-strapped teams not only always seemingly have ~30 mil in cap space, but don't offer as much guaranteed.
