# Albert Breer: Albert argues Lamar Jackson's contract situation is the league's big quarterback question, while predicting that the other star quarterbacks stay put — Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy aren't moving, and Caleb Williams and Drake Maye will sign long-term extensions with their current teams. **Claimed:** Nov 2, 2026 **Pundit:** Albert Breer — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/albert-breer **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/video/lamar-jackson-s-injury-could-really-complicate-his-next-contract-01m6et4v22nfc7cm0r6p 3 checkable claims — 3 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > In all likelihood, Caleb Williams and Drake May are gonna sign long-term extensions where they're at. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Josh Allen to move — “not changing teams”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Josh Allen - Verdict: not settled yet - **Brock Purdy to stay put** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Brock Purdy - Verdict: not settled yet - **Patrick Mahomes to stay put** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Patrick Mahomes - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Josh Allen — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/josh-allen - Brock Purdy — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/brock-purdy - Patrick Mahomes — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/patrick-mahomes ## What others said about the same people - Rich Eisen on Patrick Mahomes: Eisen stuck with their preseason call of a Chiefs three-peat, predicting a 32-26 Kansas City win with Patrick Mahomes as Super Bowl MVP. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/22a3fcb8-2dbe-494e-b765-7190f1d97bcd (scored 0) - Marvin Prince on Patrick Mahomes: Picked the Chiefs to win 31-27 with Mahomes as MVP. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/06dd11ee-313a-4371-93ff-535de62f0dca (scored 0) - Todd Fritz on Patrick Mahomes: Picked the Chiefs to beat the Eagles 29-26 in the Super Bowl with Patrick Mahomes winning MVP. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8e8fcdd4-0cd6-4899-b189-0cdb5ef4ab97 (scored 0) - Dan Patrick on Patrick Mahomes: Picked the Chiefs to complete the three-peat, beating the Eagles 31-30, with Patrick Mahomes as MVP. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/5c9f6d2c-e29b-4203-b65a-24ce323dd0ae (scored 0) - Randy Gurzi on Josh Allen: Gurzi predicts the Buffalo Bills' final 53-man roster ahead of Week 1 against Houston, naming every player who makes it, who gets cut, and a few depth-chart outcomes (Damar Hamlin as backup safety, Alec Anderson as a new starter on the offensive line, Shane Buechele back on the practice squad). — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/95db61d4-3514-4d17-aa02-ed56a31ecabf (scored 100) - Joe Marino on Josh Allen: Joe Marino gives their final projection of the Buffalo Bills' initial 53-man roster after the preseason finale, naming who makes it, who gets cut, and who lands on injured reserve/PUP, along with several starting-job calls (Kyle Allen as QB2, TJ Sanders starting over Landon Jackson, Maxwell Hairston starting opposite Christian Benford, and Tommy Doman winning the punting job). — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/65f0752f-5147-4476-be34-4909b3c44bc8 (scored 100) ## More trade and signing calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Chris Clark on Nikko Remigio: Clark expects the Chiefs to bring back exclusive-rights receiver Nico (Remigio) and long snapper James Winchester, to re-sign JuJu Smith-Schuster as a cheap veteran fifth receiver, and not to bring back Hollywood Brown, Josh Dobbs-type depth, Gardner Minshew, Janarius Robinson or Mike Caliendo; they also say the Chiefs will not use a franchise tag and believes Bryan Cook won't return. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/99521265-d5c0-4db1-b2a0-fe77908ea0b3 (scored 0) - Nate Gosney on Daiyan Henley: After the Broncos rescinded the trade, Gosney expects Daiyan Henley to remain with the Chargers for the rest of the 2026 season, but believes the awkward fallout has effectively killed any chance of them signing a new contract with Los Angeles after the season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/60272861-4ad0-4749-b36a-dcdf09b9213f (scored 0) - Logan Lazarczyk on Kirk Cousins: Ahead of the trade deadline, they float three Raiders moves: shipping Kirk Cousins to Minnesota if the Vikings offer a second-round pick, selling Maxx Crosby to Dallas for a first-rounder plus, and acquiring Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. for a second- or third-round pick. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d0fd408a-7dcd-4e50-ac62-6b4510a8a800 (scored 100) - Logan Lazarczyk on Kirk Cousins: Lazarczyk expects the Raiders to be sellers before the trade deadline, suggesting Kirk Cousins could be dealt back to the Vikings and that benched interior lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson is a prime candidate to be traded somewhere. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fda03952-2ea6-4919-8114-0ebb127478d1 (scored 100) - Patricia Traina on J.J.
