87.5% of their claims were specific enough to check. Most of what they said committed to something.
Every number here is computed from the published methodology, and every call below shows its own arithmetic.
Patrick Johnson to make the roster
“One rising player is veteran Patrick Johnson, who I project will make the roster and who is playing well.”
Segun Olubi to make the roster
“Olubi is a special teams standout, and for the first time all year, I now think he will make the 53-man roster, and the Silver and Black will carry five ILBs.”
Aidan O'Connell to make the roster
“Janocko is thrilled to have him on the roster, as projections indicate the Raiders will keep all three QBs.”
Kirk Cousins to make the roster
“I have said that since they signed QB Kirk Cousins, barring a trade offer that makes it mandatory that they move him, the team is expected to carry three QBs on the 53-man roster.”
Matt Gay to make the roster
“A great 52-yard field goal and solid kicking have all but solidified his role. I have reported since before the NFL Draft that he was in the driver’s seat for the kickers’ lone spot on the 53-man roster, and that remains accurate.”
Malcolm Koonce to make the roster
“Koonce will make the roster, but he deserves scrutiny when others like Johnson and Slone are flashing.”
Hezekiah Masses to make the roster
“But don’t say that too loud; he still thinks he is on the bubble and said he has his focus on making the 53-man roster. Hey, Hezekiah, you have.”
