## More contract calls

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

- Adam Schefter on Dallas Goedert: Schefter wrote that Dallas Goedert stays in Philadelphia after the deadline and could even re-sign with the Eagles for 2027. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/5aaf82a8-c15e-4fad-aa91-5a88d9bd2754 (not settled)

- Spencer German on Jared Verse: Picked Houston to beat Cleveland in Week 10 by a final score of 24-20, expecting a one-score game decided by the Texans' pass rush overwhelming a struggling Browns offensive line. Also suggested that a strong second half from Jared Verse would lead the Browns to pick up the fifth-year option. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/89e2488b-27e7-41f5-b3f9-bcd039739d63 (not settled)
- John Middlekauff on C.J.

Also predicted a top-15 draft slot for Charlie Becker and an eventual big contract for C.J. Stroud if the Texans finish strong. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/1edc2ab2-a022-40b1-9074-e2f0a4a2e0f4 (not settled)
- Tom Pelissero on C.J. Stroud: Pelissero picked the Jaguars as the AFC team to like most, said Lamar Jackson will not be cut or traded by Baltimore, and argued C.J. Stroud is heading for a contract that would make him the league's highest-paid quarterback at around $65 million per year. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3131c31e-f020-4e06-a65b-23596d9285e7 (not settled)
- Nate Gosney on Daiyan Henley: After the Broncos rescinded the trade, Gosney expects Daiyan Henley to remain with the Chargers for the rest of the 2026 season, but believes the awkward fallout has effectively killed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 (not settled)
