Who this take is about
Others on the same people
Chris Clark · Trade and Signing Calls · Nikko Remigio · Miss 0
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; they also say the Chiefs will not use a franchise tag and believes Bryan Cook won't return.Gilberto Manzano · Trade and Signing Calls · Josh Downs · Hit 100
Previewing the trade deadline, he expects Justin Herbert to stay in Los Angeles despite the Chargers' 0–7 start, thinks the Jets will keep Garrett Wilson and pair him with their young weapons, expects a receiver-hungry Kansas City to be aggressive with Josh Downs the likeliest target, and suggests expiring Eagles contracts Moro Ojomo and Riq Woolen could be dealt for mid-round picks.Joshua Poniatowski · Trade and Signing Calls · Josh Downs · Hit 100
Poniatowski names several trade targets, predicting Malik Willis underperforms this week against New England, that Omarion Hampton could become a viable RB2 if Adam Gase takes over play-calling, that Josh Downs gets traded (ideally to Kansas City, where they'd be a top-24 WR), that Brian Thomas Jr. could be dealt to the Rams or 49ers, and that Travis Kelce remains a consistent weekly TE.Jordan Dajani · Trade and Signing Calls · Josh Downs · Hit 100
After reporting that Colts receiver Josh Downs requested a trade, they identify five clubs as plausible landing spots for them: the Rams, Patriots, Falcons, Chiefs and Raiders, and suggests Las Vegas could also give them a long-term extension.Mike Kadlick · Trade and Signing Calls · Josh Downs · Hit 100
Kadlick names the Chiefs, Patriots and 49ers as the three best trade landing spots for Colts wide receiver Josh Downs ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline.

Jeff "Coach Jags" Jagodzinski · Super Bowl Picks · Seattle Seahawks · Hit 100
Coach Jags takes Seattle to win Super Bowl 60 by a wider margin than the spread, 28-10, citing Seattle's dominant defense.Jacob Westendorf · Super Bowl Picks · Seattle Seahawks · Hit 100
Westendorf predicts a Seattle blowout, 34-13, over New England in Super Bowl 60, expects Aaron Banks to be back on the Packers roster, thinks Romeo Dobbs will be paid by another team, and calls Christian Watson the Packers' best receiver.David Harrison · Super Bowl Picks · Seattle Seahawks · Hit 100
On a mailbag episode, Harrison said they had backed the Seattle Seahawks to win the Super Bowl, and floated draft-window guesses for a couple of Commanders-fit prospects: Alabama center Parker Brailsford as an early-200s pick and Georgia tight end Oscar Delp as a late-round selection. They also described Ohio State's Sonny Styles as a projected first-round linebacker.David Harrison · Super Bowl Picks · Seattle Seahawks · Hit 100
In their first mock draft of the offseason (built on two hypothetical trades), Harrison has Washington selecting Caleb Banks at No. 16, Brandon Cisse at No. 33, Tanner Koziol at No. 145 and Kaylon Black at No. 223, with Banks immediately becoming the team's top defensive tackle. They also expect Washington to move on from Marshawn Lattimore and to bring back Chris Rodriguez Jr., and says their money on the Super Bowl was on Seattle.
