What we’re scoring

McDonald recorded 10.5 sacks in 2024. Compete at this level has no agreed performance or role threshold, so the statistical total is evidence for review rather than a substituted criterion. Unverified allegations about private conduct are omitted from the claim and advisory payload. This is the earlier original of the same evolving 2024 McDonald performance family; later ready-to-go or monster-season language remains a revision, not another quality score.

  14. Sep 24, 2026, 7:57 PM ET · revision

    McDonald stepping up is later quality context for his existing performance family. Jermaine stepping up is separately preserved as qualitative 2024 performance, without replacing his quantitative sack forecast.

  15. Sep 24, 2026, 8:01 PM ET · revision

    The original title and verified context identify McDonald. Link the existing October 4 development/quality family. Only the public prospective football clause is selected; the unrelated unsupported substance allegation is excluded.
