# Gregg Rosenthal: Rosenthal predicts a series of offseason outcomes: Braden Smith hits free agency with Jalen Travis replacing him, Tremaine Edmunds gets traded or cut and slots between 50-100 on his free agent list (below Quay Walker), Brandon Aubrey's deal lands around $9 million per year, Andy Dalton gets cut and reaches free agency, and Jeremiah Love tops 2,000 yards next season. **Claimed:** Feb 25, 2026 **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/25-more-nfl-combine-nuggets-bills-gm-brandon-beane-and-steelers-gm-omar-khan-join-the-show 9 checkable claims — 4 trade and signing calls, 2 roster spot calls, 1 depth chart call, 1 mock draft pick and 1 player season number — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 11 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 3 of 9 have settled so far, averaging 61.1 out of 100, against 80.6 for a naive guess at the same calls. > Prediction.
