# Josh Edwards: A CBS Sports piece on roster-cut season names likely starters and roster/cut candidates across several teams, including Chiefs and Cowboys cornerback depth charts, the Chargers' projected offensive line, Jalin Hyatt as a Giants cut candidate, Cole Payton headed for Philadelphia's practice squad, and Cam Ward and Mitchell Trubisky as safe on Tennessee's roster. **Claimed:** Aug 25, 2026 **Pundit:** Josh Edwards — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/josh-edwards **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/eagles-quarterbacks-and-other-position-groups-nfl-teams-should-monitor-for-potential-trades-or-waiver-claims/ 14 checkable claims — 10 depth chart calls, 3 roster spot calls and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 20 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 3 of 14 have settled so far, averaging 66.7 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 8 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > Christian Roland-Wallace is in position to start over Jadon Canady and Kader Kohou. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Mitchell Trubisky to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Mitchell Trubisky, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Cole Payton to land on the practice squad** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Cole Payton, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Cam Ward to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Cam Ward, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Jake Slaughter to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jake Slaughter, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Trey Pipkins to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Trey Pipkins, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Reddy Steward to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Reddy Steward, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jalin Hyatt to move to New York Giants** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Jalin Hyatt, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Christian Roland-Wallace to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Christian Roland-Wallace, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cobie Durant to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Cobie Durant, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Joe Alt to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Joe Alt, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **DaRon Bland to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: DaRon Bland, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Caleb Downs to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Caleb Downs, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rashawn Slater to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Rashawn Slater, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cole Strange to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Cole Strange, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Mitchell Trubisky — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/mitchell-trubisky - Tennessee Titans — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/titans - Cole Payton — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/cole-payton - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Cam Ward — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/cam-ward - Jake Slaughter — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jake-slaughter - Los Angeles Chargers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chargers - Trey Pipkins — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/trey-pipkins - Reddy Steward — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/reddy-steward - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/cowboys - Jalin Hyatt — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jalin-hyatt - New York Giants — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/giants - Christian Roland-Wallace — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/christian-roland-wallace - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - Cobie Durant — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/cobie-durant - Joe Alt — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/joe-alt - DaRon Bland — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/daron-bland - Caleb Downs — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/caleb-downs - Rashawn Slater — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/rashawn-slater - Cole Strange — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/cole-strange ## What others said about the same people - 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;
