# Gilberto Manzano: Previewing the trade deadline, he expects Justin Herbert to stay in Los Angeles despite the Chargers' 0–7 start, thinks the Jets will keep Garrett Wilson and pair him with their young weapons, expects a receiver-hungry Kansas City to be aggressive with Josh Downs the likeliest target, and suggests expiring Eagles contracts Moro Ojomo and Riq Woolen could be dealt for mid-round picks. **Claimed:** Nov 3, 2026 **Pundit:** Gilberto Manzano — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/gilberto-manzano **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/2027-nfl-trade-deadline-what-know-about-justin-herbert-other-big-names 4 checkable claims — 4 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > It's widely expected that Kansas City will be aggressive in adding a receiver, likely Downs or another option on the market. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Josh Downs to move to Kansas City Chiefs** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Josh Downs, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Moro Ojomo to move — “could fetch mid-round choices from contending teams”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Moro Ojomo - Verdict: not settled yet - **Riq Woolen to move — “could fetch mid-round choices from contending teams”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Riq Woolen - Verdict: not settled yet - **Justin Herbert to move — “extremely unlikely he gets traded”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Justin Herbert - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Josh Downs — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/josh-downs - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - Moro Ojomo — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/moro-ojomo - Riq Woolen — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/riq-woolen - Justin Herbert — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/justin-herbert ## What others said about the same people - Jordan Foote on Kansas City Chiefs: Foote expects the Chiefs to rebound at home against the Jets, arguing Geno Smith can't keep pace with Patrick Mahomes and that only turnovers or penalties would keep the game close. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/63106552-e84e-442a-a49e-681fb22fe0bd (scored 100) - Tyler Brown on Kansas City Chiefs: Brown thinks the Jets will hang around for a while but that the more talented Chiefs will ultimately handle the game at home. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d3d204d4-b6ad-40d6-85eb-ad91489cac28 (scored 100) - Pete Prisco on Kansas City Chiefs: Prisco gives score predictions for every Week 9 NFL game, picking the Bengals to rout the Falcons in Madrid, the Cowboys to rebound at Indianapolis, and the Jaguars to win in Baltimore without Lamar Jackson. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/dc43909b-bc7f-47aa-b208-5cf7c95844bc (scored 61.9) - Eric Mangini on Kansas City Chiefs: Mangini picked New England to beat Green Bay by more than a field goal, flagged Tampa Bay as his upset alert over Chicago, expects Kansas City to handle the Jets, took Buffalo over Minnesota, backed Cincinnati over Atlanta in Madrid, and updated his Super Bowl to Rams–Bengals. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/af0819c3-4662-44a2-a451-a08fa3b7e59a (scored 100) - Danny Parkins on Kansas City Chiefs: Parkins named the seven AFC teams he believes are already set as the playoff field, expects Chicago, Buffalo and Kansas City to win this week, took Green Bay over New England and Atlanta over Cincinnati outright, and kept Bills–Bears as his Super Bowl matchup with the Giants still winning the NFC East. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/272d1f8a-06f7-4b8b-8480-94d370ae5e6f (scored 100) - Nick Wright on Kansas City Chiefs: Wright argued the Jaguars are the AFC's most complete team, calling them the considerable favorite for the No. 1 seed and the only club essentially locked into the playoffs.
