Jaycee is so young, hopefully he recovers quickly and we have him back no later than Dec 26 against the Bucs

Me too, but more so than anything, the team needs to err on the side of caution to ensure his long-term health.  This sucks, but glad it wasn't his Achilles

If the timetable is 2-3 months, what is the downside to at least rehabbing with the intention of playing this year. If we can finish .500 we are in the thick of things for a wild card spot you would imagine. Don’t rush him, but if he’s done rehabbing by early December and we’re in line for a playoff spot it could be huge.  Now if December rolls around and we’re 6-8 I agree there would be no point then. 
 

but could some explain to me what benefits choosing IR now would have if the recovery time is 2-3 months anyways?

If Horn allowed us to play man coverage and that was essential to giving the line time to get to the QB...the question becomes....

Can we still play man coverage?  Because we didn't on Thursday.

Could Horn's injury change the course of the season?

There's a big difference between getting cleared to play and being in football shape. I can't see him rehabbing from this and being able to return effectively this season.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
