- 1Josh Myers to move — “his time in New York may be shortened”“The center signed a two-year extension until 2027. However, if his performance doesn't improve, his time in New York may be shortened.”
- 2Brandon Stephens to move — “may be on his way out of New York sooner than expected”“Stephens' performance this year has been less than ideal, and he may be on his way out of New York sooner than expected.”
- 3Tim Patrick to stay put“It looks like that one year will be the only one he spends with Gang Green... One year may be all that Patrick stays a Jet.”

How each call scored
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.
Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
