## More trade and signing calls

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.

- Adam Carlson on Jordan Addison: Carlson names three Vikings he sees as most likely to be dealt before the November 10 trade deadline: receivers Jauan Jennings and Jordan Addison, and linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3007fa03-7d22-48c8-a25c-395d9b7dd8fe (scored 0)
- Adam Carlson on Jordan Addison: Carlson names three Vikings he expects could be traded before the end of September: quarterback J.J. McCarthy, wide receiver Jordan Addison and linebacker Ivan Pace. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/65e3f9cf-c441-42a2-baaf-7cd3dbebafad (scored 0)
- Brian Peacock on Jordan Addison: Peacock delivered a seven-round 49ers mock draft plus projected offseason moves: signing tight end Kyle Pitts, trading Mac Jones to Minnesota and acquiring Jordan Addison, and drafting speed at receiver, edge, safety, center, corner, running back and tackle, with 40-time projections for several prospects. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d1325f8f-c996-4488-b063-fc4dfae1da59 (scored 0)

- Mike Kadlick on Marvin Harrison Jr.: With a Marvin Harrison Jr. trade reportedly imminent, Kadlick names three landing spots that make sense for the Cardinals receiver: the Texans (reuniting him with C.J. Stroud), the Raiders (who lack a true No. 1 wideout) and the Patriots (thin at receiver due to injuries). — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/5be5d904-d1fd-4e46-b526-9b4a14383b4f (scored 0)
- Donnie Druin on Marvin Harrison Jr.: Druin writes that Marvin Harrison Jr. is on the move and that early indications point to the Houston Texans as his next destination, where he would join a receiving corps led by Nico Collins. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/9c9aafd7-2e16-499b-ac60-98dd5150f65f (scored 100)

Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
