It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > Patrick Mahomes is still gonna be the number one guy, but it's getting closer with Jalen Hurts. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Cam Ward to move to Tennessee Titans** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Cam Ward, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ashton Jeanty to move to Las Vegas Raiders** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Ashton Jeanty, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Cam Ward — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/cam-ward - Tennessee Titans — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/titans - Ashton Jeanty — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/ashton-jeanty - Las Vegas Raiders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/raiders ## What others said about the same people - Nick Wright on Fernando Mendoza: Nick Wright unveiled his full 32-pick 2026 NFL mock draft 4.0, starting with Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders at No. 1 and ending with Avion Terrell to the Seahawks at 32.
