# Gregg Rosenthal: Rosenthal made a series of offseason personnel predictions at the combine: they believe Kirk Cousins will be traded away from Atlanta, that Justin Tucker will never play for the Ravens or in the NFL again, that Joey Bosa should/will be released by the Chargers, that Ronnie Stanley will re-sign with Baltimore rather than reach free agency, and that Chris Godwin will re-sign with Tampa Bay. They also expect Jaire Alexander not to return to Green Bay, Jonathan Allen to be traded, Jonah Williams to remain a Cardinal, and Brian Thomas Jr. to improve. **Claimed:** Feb 26, 2025 **Pundit:** Gregg Rosenthal — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/gregg-rosenthal **Outlet:** Around the NFL (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/around-the-nfl-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/nfl-daily/47-scouting-combine-takeaways-plus-raiders-gm-john 9 checkable claims — 4 roster spot calls, 4 trade and signing calls and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
