- **Arian Smith to move — “has likely played his last down in green and white”**
  - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Arian Smith
  - Verdict: not settled yet

## Who this take is about

- Arian Smith — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/arian-smith

## What others said about the same people

- Devon Platana on Arian Smith: Platana projects the Jets' post-move wide receiver depth chart for 2026 — Garrett Wilson first, Adonai Mitchell second, rookie Omar Cooper Jr. third, Isaiah Williams fourth, Tim Patrick fifth and Jamaal Pritchett sixth — with Cam Camper, Quincy Skinner Jr. and Arian Smith landing on the practice squad. They also expect a bounce-back 1,000-yard season from Wilson. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/88d429eb-8655-49ad-9f90-54eef4c5e655 (scored 0)
- Nick Faria on Arian Smith: Faria lays out the Jets' post-cuts 53-man roster with a projected depth chart at every position, naming Geno Smith the starting QB with Cade Klubnik behind him, Breece Hall atop the backfield, Garrett Wilson leading the receivers, Mason Taylor as the top tight end, and Thomas/Stephens/Brownlee as the starting cornerbacks. He also expects Braiden McGregor could be gone within 48 hours via the waiver wire and Nate Lynn to land on the practice squad. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/91e72b2d-ea9e-4e72-8f91-02f7747460ed (not settled)
- Nick Faria on Arian Smith: After the Jets' preseason opener, Faria argued Bailey Zappe pitched themselves off the roster entirely and that fourth-round receiver Arian Smith could be cut after one season, while praising Bamba, Klubnik and the backup offensive line without firm roster predictions. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a2db7e75-f5b9-4052-824d-c27a36899c4f (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- Nate Gosney on Daiyan Henley: After the Broncos rescinded the trade, Gosney expects Daiyan Henley to remain with the Chargers for the rest of the 2026 season, but believes the awkward fallout has effectively killed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.
