The Panthers want an elite defense for the foreseeable future.

But..but but. but that's too old school.  You have to have the elite-iest QB to win a SB now.  You know, like when Manning showed up Cam in the SB.  Or when Brady embarrassed Mahommes.  /sarc

This is excellent context. It tells me 

1.) We've been working on depth before injuries. It tells me that that we're probably doing the same at other positions of need. 

2.) We really dont know how this will effect DJax negotiations. We have money. We dont have draft picks. We may be able to move some things around to keep him. (Cmac restructure?)

3.) If you've watched this defense... having fast, rangy corners is really a big part of what helps us control the run game. And when our pass rush is this elite... those guys can be physical and opportunistic.

I am not sure how that is possible

Long story short:

Horn under contract through 2026 *including* 5th year option

Henderson's guaranteed money is being paid by JAX, and is under contract through 2024, and has a 5th year option available for 2025

We can pay Jackson and so long as the deal / guaranteed money wraps by the 2024 - 2025 season we are fine. 

That is how you are able to keep all three for the next several seasons. 

Also Donte' is likely viewed as a #2 or #3 by ''most'' teams, will he get paid sure, but it won't be top tier money, at 5'10'' and 180 lbs his matchups are by niche, he can't guard a Mike Evans, or DK Metcalf, that's what guys the size of Horn and Henderson are for.

Of course you can.

Schematically it doesn’t work out that well. All 3 of our guys excel on the outside.

Horn spent A LOT of the Saints game as the Nickel defender, Henderson has tape there as well from JAX. 

Donte' lined up inside, and outside at LSU, and even played off the LOS as a safety at times. 

I'm not to worried about scheme fits, these guys are all versatile, and TOP tier athletes at the position.

      Nobody is asking you to root for him.  We (or at least I am) are asking you to stop derailing every single thread by bringing up Bryce Young.  Or feeling the need to put down someone any time they have a positive thing to say about Bryce.  Posters aren't allowed to say anything positive about Bryce around here without you (and some others, but mostly you) right behind them to tell them how wrong they are. And you do this constantly.  Even now with the "clownery" comment.  If people described your posts as clownery, you wouldn't appreciate it, would you? And this isn't me saying that we shouldn't have negative takes about Bryce on this forum, so before you accuse of me of trying to eliminate negative posts about Bryce, that isn't the case at all.  However, to me, it is weird to come into a thread that was about highlighting our offseason/OTAs, and unprompted, you go into bashing Bryce Young.  There are at least 5 other threads on the first page alone where you could have trashed Bryce.  And you know this, because you have in all of them threads. You're a smart guy from what I can tell but your disdain for Bryce has become obnoxious, even if you are right about him.  If a Bryce fan bombarded every single thread to talk about how good they felt he was, you wouldn't like it.  I know this because anytime this discussion happens you bring up "Bryce fanboys".

      Another Bryce breakdown

      It's not skewed though, that's just the result of the best QBs being on quality teams resulting in Super Bowls. Those guys are just that good and it's the bar that other QBs and teams have to meet or at least approach in order to compete. That's just how the NFL is these days. Having a dynasty would be great but even just being able to have the stars align and the team perform at an elite level like 2015 would be amazing. Unfortunately though, Cam absolutely played like Superman in elevating that offense to where it was, further supporting the requirement.

      New year? Fresh perspective? You gave up on him. You threw in the towel. Yet now you want to be the first and official word on how to root for him and the Panthers? There's a word for this. Clownery.
