One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.

It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in.

> I think that the Giants are going to be one of them. And I also think that the Raiders are.

## More trade and signing calls

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

- Tom Pelissero on Joey Porter Jr.: Pelissero laid out the Giants' quarterback situation with Jameis Winston starting, said Jayden Daniels likely won't be back when Washington plays the Giants and that Caleb Williams is unlikely to play Monday night, and floated Joey Porter Jr. landing in Dallas and Kirk Cousins being traded in-season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/f26c21be-0655-4d27-81b3-86e4c8db564f (scored 100)
- Joel Corry on Joey Porter Jr.: Corry runs through 2026 contract-year players and forecasts how their situations resolve: Puka Nacua as a prime franchise tag candidate in Los Angeles, a second straight tag for George Pickens in Dallas, a possible pre-deadline trade of Joey Porter Jr., and Moro Ojomo getting his best contract away from Philadelphia. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/25196116-210c-437d-8830-6cb98ea54b29 (scored 100)
- Bryan DeArdo on Joey Porter Jr.: DeArdo argues that a resolution to Joey Porter Jr.'s standoff with the Steelers is coming soon and that trading him is the only logical outcome, proposing three mock trades — all sending Porter to the Lions, with the middle scenario (Porter plus a 2027 third for Detroit's 2027 first and sixth) the one he calls a genuine win-win. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fca2cc3c-b55d-47bf-b53c-93bf42d9097e (scored 0)
- Christian Booher on Joey Porter Jr.: Booher argues the Lions' struggling secondary needs a cornerback addition and names four trade targets Detroit could acquire: Joey Porter Jr., Kristian Fulton, Tyson Campbell and Mike Jackson. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/cb2f0d9c-344e-4ab3-8cb2-cb082235e123 (scored 0)
- Bryan DeArdo on Joey Porter Jr.: DeArdo suggests that if the Steelers do move Joey Porter Jr. before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, the Lions are a plausible destination given their early-season defensive struggles. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/52d5ce7b-845f-4892-9bb6-72964ef5e082 (scored 0)
- Jacob Punturi on Joey Porter Jr.: Punturi expects the Steelers to trade cornerback Joey Porter Jr., and argues the realistic return has fallen to a second-round pick and nothing more. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/f0066f23-48e0-4cd6-8855-edff19577a98 (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.
