3 checkable claims — 3 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

> It might not be imminent, but a McDonald trade shouldn't catch anyone off guard if it happens before mid-November.

## What others said about the same people

- Nick Faria on Will McDonald IV: Following the Andre Cisco trade, Faria names three more Jets they see as likeliest to be dealt before the deadline: defensive tackle Harrison Phillips, edge rusher Will McDonald IV and defensive back Jarvis Brownlee Jr. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/5f373964-6828-4a3d-b47b-608d241f0211 (not settled)
- John Shipley on Will McDonald IV: Shipley suggests three edge rushers the Jaguars could still acquire before the trade deadline: Jets edge Will McDonald IV (for a third-round pick), Dolphins edge Josh Uche, and Commanders edge Dorance Armstrong (for a Day 3 pick). They also predict the 2026 Commanders will not achieve anything significant this season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ca64d81c-95b9-4596-a0fa-0ddd23981082 (not settled)
- Nick Faria on Will McDonald IV: Faria names three clubs that could trade for Jets edge rusher Will McDonald IV before the deadline — the Titans (a reunion with Robert Saleh's wide-nine scheme), the Lions (adding situational pass rush as deadline buyers) and the Cowboys (Jerry Jones going all-in again). They also state Detroit is headed for a playoff spot in 2026. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fac43419-e3e9-44b1-b72f-bce7f69ea638 (not settled)
- Jordan Dajani on Nahshon Wright: Dajani identifies 25 players they believe could be dealt before the 2026 NFL trade deadline, sorting them into tiers of impact starters, discount playmakers and sneaky rentals. No destination clubs are named for any of them. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/5ae56bb8-cf2b-4715-a20e-9d5a76fa5c5c (not settled)
- Nick Faria on Will McDonald IV: Faria argues the struggling Jets will likely trade edge rusher Will McDonald IV before the Nov. 10 deadline, naming the Panthers, Cowboys and 49ers as the most likely landing spots. They also frame Carolina as the team positioned to win the NFC South again and Dallas as the team with the pieces to take the NFC East by default. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/68dbfce2-4f0d-4723-956c-fcfa2bde55a7 (not settled)
- Bradley Locker on Will McDonald IV: Ahead of the Nov. 10, 2026 trade deadline, they name 15 players they expect could be dealt, including Marvin Harrison Jr., Titans veterans Tony Pollard and Calvin Ridley, and a deep group of defensive linemen such as Tuli Tuipulotu, Yaya Diaby and Daron Payne. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8d4beeb7-b210-4be2-8ec5-6ae0bd40aa55 (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.
