# Jose Sanchez: Sanchez lays out three 'dream' trade targets for the 49ers — Maxx Crosby, Khalil Mack and Garrett Wilson — but concludes none of the deals will happen, expecting the Raiders to keep Crosby, the Chargers to hold onto Mack, and the Jets never to send Wilson to San Francisco. **Claimed:** Oct 29, 2026 **Pundit:** Jose Sanchez — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jose-sanchez **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/onsi/3-dream-trade-targets-that-would-transform-49ers 3 checkable claims — 3 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > The 49ers would ascend dramatically with him, but it'll never happen. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Khalil Mack to stay with Los Angeles Chargers** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Khalil Mack, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Maxx Crosby to stay with Las Vegas Raiders** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Maxx Crosby, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Garrett Wilson to move — “no chance of being traded to the 49ers; "it'll never happen"”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Garrett Wilson - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Khalil Mack — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/khalil-mack - Los Angeles Chargers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chargers - Maxx Crosby — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/maxx-crosby - Las Vegas Raiders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/raiders - Garrett Wilson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/garrett-wilson ## What others said about the same people - Nate Gosney on Daiyan Henley: After the Broncos rescinded the trade, Gosney expects Daiyan Henley to remain with the Chargers for the rest of the 2026 season, but believes the awkward fallout has effectively killed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) - Tyler Sullivan on Los Angeles Chargers: Sullivan flags five Week 9 underdogs they expect to pull upsets: the Packers at New England, the Vikings over Buffalo, the winless Chargers over Houston, the Panthers over Denver, and the Falcons over Cincinnati in Madrid. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b01bc807-6ff9-460f-8ab3-c7506b54effb (scored 0) - Kevin Wildes on Los Angeles Chargers: Wildes used their upset alert on the winless Chargers to beat the Rams. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/4a6e4641-36d3-4a34-9929-9d1fdab93cbb (scored 0) - Greg Auman on Los Angeles Chargers: Auman predicts an all-Los Angeles Super Bowl with the Chargers beating the Rams 24-21. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b529264d-fbdd-4b2c-88aa-4c15848659a6 (scored 21.43) - Chris Broussard on Las Vegas Raiders: Broussard picked the Ravens to beat the Bills in a shootout, 38-34, took the Raiders to upset the Jets, and said Detroit would beat the Vikings. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/69de6faa-8bec-4a79-9d86-5dbc5bae0573 (scored 100) - Connor Rogers on Las Vegas Raiders: Rogers picked straight-up winners across the Week 8 slate, siding with the Bills over the Ravens, the Lions, Steelers, Jaguars, Bengals, Falcons, Raiders, Broncos, Rams, Patriots, Commanders and the Bears in Seattle. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/14b3a81b-ba4d-4270-b122-8cfe7fc959b0 (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) - 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.
