# 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.thegoodapps.co/pundits/gregg-rosenthal **Outlet:** Around the NFL (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.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. 4 of 9 have settled so far, averaging 95.8 out of 100, against 85.4 for a naive guess at the same calls. > Prediction. The kicker wants ten, the Cowboys are offering seven and a half. I bet it ends up around nine. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Rashan Gary to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Rashan Gary, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **DeForest Buckner to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: DeForest Buckner, Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Jalen Travis to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jalen Travis, Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: scored 83.33 out of 100, against 91.67 for a naive guess - **Jeremiyah Love to be picked “top ten” (picks 1–10)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jeremiyah Love - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Braden Smith to move** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Braden Smith - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tremaine Edmunds to move** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Tremaine Edmunds - Verdict: not settled yet - **Andy Dalton to move** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Andy Dalton - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jeremiyah Love to record 2,000 rushing yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Jeremiyah Love - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tony Pollard to move to Tennessee Titans** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Tony Pollard, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Rashan Gary — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/rashan-gary - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/packers - DeForest Buckner — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/deforest-buckner - Indianapolis Colts — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/colts - Jalen Travis — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/jalen-travis - Jeremiyah Love — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/jeremiyah-love - Braden Smith — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/braden-smith - Tremaine Edmunds — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/tremaine-edmunds - Andy Dalton — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/andy-dalton - Tony Pollard — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/tony-pollard - Tennessee Titans — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/titans ## What others said about the same people - Bucky Brooks on Keenan Allen: Brooks predicted J.J. McCarthy won't be on the Vikings' roster (traded or released), said Kyler Murray wins the Vikings' QB competition, made a series of 2025 award picks, made 2026 Heisman/draft projections including Arch Manning as the front-runner for the No. 1 overall pick, and said none of Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen or Joe Burrow win a championship this season. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/10c3797b-f9e0-41ca-a2a3-5d765a242a79 (scored 100) - Lance Zierlein on Jeremiyah Love: Zierlein laid out his final mock draft: Jeremiah Love at No. 3 to Arizona, Sonny Styles at No. 4 to Robert Saleh's team, and Caleb Downs to the Giants at No. 5.

He also expects Riley Leonard to open as the Colts' starting QB and Travis Hunter to play cornerback full time in Jacksonville. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/f60c916c-1b5f-4252-8733-1770c7809577 (scored 59.46) - Chris Brockman on Mac Jones: Brockman argued the Texans will reach the AFC Championship Game, declared the Chiefs dynasty over, said the road to the Super Bowl in the NFC goes through Lambeau Field, that Josh Allen is still the most dangerous QB and the Bills will win a playoff game (with the AFC East runner-up as the 5 seed winning in Pittsburgh or Baltimore), that Carolina will win the NFC South, that Baltimore finishes under .500 with Lamar no longer a top-five QB, that the Colts should trade for Mac Jones, and that Marcus Freeman will be in the NFL next year. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c06d1a3a-78d8-4aec-8574-159821b42aab (scored 0) - Richard Sherman on Green Bay Packers: Sherman previewed every division: he picked Seattle to win the NFC West on a tiebreaker over San Francisco (both 11-11 wins), the Lions over the Packers in the North, the Eagles to run away with the East, Tampa Bay in the South, and Kansas City, Buffalo and the Ravens' division rivals in the AFC. He picked an Eagles–Chiefs Super Bowl with Philadelphia repeating, Joe Burrow for MVP, and gave a top-five power ranking. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/ec43b02b-8e3a-4b2e-8c36-1839c9c52e3c (scored 40) - John Middlekauff on Anthony Richardson: Middlecoff says Anthony Richardson's Colts career is finished and expects him to be traded within ten days for any value, even a fifth-round pick.

Brown: Ruiz expects the Eagles to trade A.J. Brown once the June 1 dead-cap threshold passes, most likely to New England, and thinks Baker Mayfield will get a Buccaneers extension making him the league's highest-paid quarterback within a month or two. He also argues the Lions may have to let one or two of their 2023 draft class leave, and that Houston should extend C.J. Stroud. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/6f6c3a28-18bb-4f4d-beb5-061d863b4e28 (scored 100) - Diante Lee on A.J.

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.
