# Gregg Rosenthal: Rosenthal doubts the Raiders can get enough value for Max Crosby, expecting a Myles Garrett-style resolution where Crosby stays and gets another raise rather than being traded; they also say Isaiah Likely will rank in their top 50 free agents and expects Likely to sign elsewhere than Baltimore. They also expect a huge volume of trades this offseason and predicts several tight ends (Pat Freiermuth, Cole Kmet, T.J. Hockenson) become available.

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

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

> So what it will probably end up with is a similar situation than Myles Garrett where he'll get another one of those raises, he'll get more guaranteed money.

## Who this take is about

- Isaiah Likely — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/isaiah-likely

## What others said about the same people

- Patricia Traina on Isaiah Likely: Traina projects the Giants' initial 53-man roster position by position, naming who makes the team and who lands on the practice squad, including keeping Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Evan Neal (with a possible trade), Dalen Cambre over Braxton Berrios, Lucas Patrick as backup center, and Dominic Zvada as the kicker. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8bb1a183-b45b-44db-8a61-23bdd2238a6b (scored 100)
- Joe Dolan on Isaiah Likely: Dolan sees no fantasy value in Darren Waller's return with Miami (projecting them as roughly TE33), but loves Devon Achane's passing-game upside with Jonnu Smith gone, Rashee Rice as a discounted target hog who leads the Chiefs in targets, Kenneth Walker as a bell-cow at a cheap price, Jordan Addison as badly underpriced, Darnell Mooney as too cheap, Isaiah Likely as a late-round breakout, and Devaughn Vele as the Broncos' starting slot man. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/7bbd232a-2e40-474c-b3e1-80438d5a98d3 (scored 0)
- Tim Hasselbeck on Isaiah Likely: Hasselbeck expects Kyler Murray to be released by Arizona, believes Malik Willis will sign somewhere as the anointed opening-day starter, and thinks Isaiah Likely can be a true No. 1 tight end who would catch over 75 passes with close to seven touchdowns as a full-season starter. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/f427a6b0-2fb5-4887-90e3-a02973258757 (scored 0)
- Jake Ciely on Isaiah Likely: Sealey gave their early 2026 quarterback ranks — Allen, Lamar, May and Daniels as their top four, Joe Burrow sixth, Daniel Jones 17th, Justin Herbert 10th, C.J. Stroud 25th and Sam Darnold 26th — plus tight ends with Isaiah Likely 13th and Dalton Kincaid down at 16. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/f0bd19b0-da37-47d6-b81f-8863be80fbe2 (scored 91.67)
- Daniel Jeremiah on Isaiah Likely: Jeremiah referenced their preseason pick of the Houston Texans to win the Super Bowl, and predicted Seattle's defense gets back on track and hands Kansas City its first loss on Sunday night. They also suggested Isaiah Likely would be a Pro Bowl-caliber performer this season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0e093bad-59ae-4980-b4a1-5f570f5b155c (not settled)
- Nick Raducanu on Isaiah Likely: In their Week 7 WR/TE target report, Raducanu argues Emeka Egbuka is a rising WR3 and buy-low whose production will grow, calls Isaiah Likely a top-3 fantasy tight end, tabs Matthew Golden a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside, and says Jalen Coker should be a must-start WR2/flex while healthy. They also recommend selling high on Keenan Allen. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3e2860cb-0f8e-49d0-af1e-f44c54e1ee97 (not settled)

## More trade and signing calls

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

- Chris Clark on Nikko Remigio: 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. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/99521265-d5c0-4db1-b2a0-fe77908ea0b3 (scored 0)
- 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 (scored 0)
- Logan Lazarczyk on Kirk Cousins: Ahead of the trade deadline, they float three Raiders moves: shipping Kirk Cousins to Minnesota if the Vikings offer a second-round pick, selling Maxx Crosby to Dallas for a first-rounder plus, and acquiring Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. for a second- or third-round pick. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d0fd408a-7dcd-4e50-ac62-6b4510a8a800 (scored 100)
- Logan Lazarczyk on Kirk Cousins: Lazarczyk expects the Raiders to be sellers before the trade deadline, suggesting Kirk Cousins could be dealt back to the Vikings and that benched interior lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson is a prime candidate to be traded somewhere. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fda03952-2ea6-4919-8114-0ebb127478d1 (scored 100)
- Patricia Traina on J.J. McCarthy: Traina expects defensive tackle to be a top need for the Giants in next year's draft, and suggests the Giants could trade J.J. McCarthy next offseason — or keep both them and Jaxson Dart if the return isn't good enough. They also expect Dart to make a full recovery. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b638ed13-01ca-4ea6-9384-ec7130f912c1 (scored 100)
- Michael David Smith on Keenan Allen: Smith suggests the Colts are likely to grant Josh Downs' trade request given their contract situation and their recent sell-off, and that they could also try to trade Keenan Allen. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/52d7108f-f754-44e8-9bf3-cc3336b4e5f7 (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.
