NFL Week 4 buzz: QB panic meter and trade intel, plus what we’re hearing on the 3-0 Raiders

NFL insiders Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano evaluated struggling quarterbacks, potential trade movements, and early-season surprises heading into Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season. Drake Maye, Cam Ward, and Justin Herbert were identified as primary passers facing early panic following difficult starts. Both reporters noted that New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel voiced substantial concern after Maye threw six interceptions across his first three games.

Fowler and Graziano also examined potential quarterback trades across the league, noting that depth-heavy teams like the Eagles, Browns, and Steelers could consider moves. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Raiders' unexpected 3-0 start under new head coach Klint Kubiak was highlighted as legitimate, led by quarterback Kirk Cousins and tight end Brock Bowers.
