# Mike Florio: Florio argues almost every NFL player is tradeable for the right price, naming only a handful of quarterbacks who truly would not be dealt ahead of the trade deadline. **Claimed:** Nov 10, 2026 **Pundit:** Mike Florio — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/mike-florio **Outlet:** NBC Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/nbc-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/not-many-players-are-truly-untradeable 7 checkable claims — 7 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 7 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > The only players who currently wouldn't be traded, in our view, are Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Packers quarterback Jordan Love, and probably 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Josh Allen to move — “wouldn't be traded”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Josh Allen - Verdict: not settled yet - **Joe Burrow to move — “wouldn't be traded”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Joe Burrow - Verdict: not settled yet - **Brock Purdy to move — “probably wouldn't be traded”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Brock Purdy - Verdict: not settled yet - **Caleb Williams to move — “wouldn't be traded”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Caleb Williams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Trevor Lawrence to move — “wouldn't be traded”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Trevor Lawrence - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jordan Love to move — “wouldn't be traded”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Jordan Love - Verdict: not settled yet - **Patrick Mahomes to move — “wouldn't be traded”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Patrick Mahomes - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Josh Allen — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/josh-allen - Joe Burrow — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/joe-burrow - Brock Purdy — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/brock-purdy - Caleb Williams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/caleb-williams - Trevor Lawrence — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/trevor-lawrence - Jordan Love — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jordan-love - Patrick Mahomes — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/patrick-mahomes ## What others said about the same people - John Middlekauff on Caleb Williams: Middlekauff expects either Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson to win this year's MVP, calling them the two best players in the league. They are pessimistic on the Bears, forecasting six or seven wins and saying they'd bet Caleb Williams doesn't work out as a franchise quarterback. They also see Oklahoma's John Mattier as a first-round pick who'll be in the Heisman mix. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/deaaf3f6-e53e-4080-a0ca-d5f872b54c6a (scored 0) - Rich Eisen on Patrick Mahomes: Eisen stuck with their preseason call of a Chiefs three-peat, predicting a 32-26 Kansas City win with Patrick Mahomes as Super Bowl MVP. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/22a3fcb8-2dbe-494e-b765-7190f1d97bcd (scored 0) - Marvin Prince on Patrick Mahomes: Picked the Chiefs to win 31-27 with Mahomes as MVP. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/06dd11ee-313a-4371-93ff-535de62f0dca (scored 0) - Todd Fritz on Patrick Mahomes: Picked the Chiefs to beat the Eagles 29-26 in the Super Bowl with Patrick Mahomes winning MVP. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8e8fcdd4-0cd6-4899-b189-0cdb5ef4ab97 (scored 0) - Dan Patrick on Patrick Mahomes: Picked the Chiefs to complete the three-peat, beating the Eagles 31-30, with Patrick Mahomes as MVP. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/5c9f6d2c-e29b-4203-b65a-24ce323dd0ae (scored 0) - Jacob Westendorf on Jordan Love: In their final 53-man roster projection for the Packers, Westendorf names every player they expect to make the initial roster, places Luke Musgrave and Micah Parsons on PUP, projects Anthony Campbell as the final cut headed to the practice squad, and sets out several depth-chart calls (Love over Taylor, Jacobs as the bell cow, Franklin/Cooper starting at linebacker, Cox and Dennis-Sutton as the No. 2 edge tandem in Week 1). — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/60a297eb-a1a6-4929-a589-40cb7119463c (scored 100) ## 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.
