Is Jaycee Horn pulling a "business decision McCaffrey" on us?!?

He has enough tape out there to show he can be a lockdown but MAYBE he just doesn't want to play here?

He has been awfully slow to recover from his injuries at such a young age

Son of a former player who's also a man of questionable character https://assets.espn.go.com/nfl/news/2002/0128/1319126.html

I am starting to wonder if he's taking his sweet ole time to nurse those injuries, we don't pick up that 5th year option and he goes on to be a Saints legend lockdown CB

No

CMC had years of never missing games and playing at a HOF level while doing so.

Horn hasn’t shown near enough on the field or enough health to slow walk a recovery to try and force a trade. 

Also, I never felt CMC did that, I thought at the end of both seasons is was more likely the team that shut him down, why risk further injury and hurt our draft position for him to play in a couple meaningless late season games.

Probably.

I will always believe CMC made sure to "save himself" when he had injuries the two years prior to being traded.  He was awesome for us and then got that bag.  Once that contract was signed he didn't come back from injuries which he could have....if he had wanted to.  The company line may have been the team shut him down, but CMC had no desire to be part of the dumpster fire Rhule was rolling out there.

Last year he stayed healthy and had some good games for us and when we fell out of contention the decision was made to trade him.  I don't disagree about trading him, but we then gave him his choice of the Rams or the 49ers.  Of course he chose to go play for Shanahan in San Francisco.  It all worked out so well for him and his model fiance - it was exactly what he wanted.

A year later he has been tearing it up and playing hard.  He got hurt last week and was back for the Vikings game.  If he was still a Panther he might have been done for the season.

This is my opinion and I appreciate his effort when he was here and establishing himself, but I will not be pulling for him to win  a Super Bowl etc. because he dogged it until he got what he ultimately wanted.  In hindsight I wish he would have just been honest when it was time to sign his big deal and told the Panthers he didn't want to be in Carolina or the East Coast.  He didn't and we got some draft picks, but we lost a very dynamic player who could have helped us......he just didn't want to - at least under Rhule.

      Evero HC requests!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.

      I've grown to enjoy Mike & Tripp, even more so after listening to the ESPN, TNT, TBS hacks who, for whatever reason, seemingly don't know dick about the Canes.
