Should the Panthers trade Jaycee Horn?

[hepcat]

All this talk about the CMC trade has got me thinking - should the Panthers trade Jaycee Horn? What could they get in return?

Don't get me wrong, Horn is a very good player, when he's on the field. The problem is, Horn has only played in 22 of 51 possible games (43%) for the Panthers. 

Is the value there to make a trade? He's heading into his 4th season, and the Panthers will need to decide if they pick up his 5th year option this offseason. 

The Panthers have so many needs on the roster, and still fielded a stout defense without Horn on the field most of the season. If they can recoup a 1st round pick for him or multiple high draft picks, I think you have to consider trading him.

No. His trade value is probably fairly low. I would say ride it out and see if maybe he can turn it around. If he keeps getting banged up, try to get a late rounder next season or next offseason(depending on if we pick up his 4th year).

The injury issue just really limits our options.

[Donald LaFell]

I wouldn’t be opposed. Availability is a big deal. Love him as a player but maybe his body can’t handle the NFL. Not to mention he’s probably be training for this his whole life. Maybe his body was overworked as an adolescent or teenager. Just thinking out loud. 

[4Corners]

Yeah if they can get fair compensation for him. But they won’t. Would probably fetch like a 5th rounder. What did the Lions get for Jeff Oduka

[Panthercougar68]

No, you’re not gonna get the return you’re looking for and he’s on a rookie deal and he’s really good when healthy.

He gets rid of this injury bug and he’ll become a staple of this team.

[rayzor]

If someone would give us a first for him? Absolutely.

I'd even take an early second.

He has never been reliable. I don't see that changing. First round pick would be more valuable.

Less than that, though, ride with it and hope he quits breaking. I really don't see that happening though. He's going to just spend his whole contract here being talented and sidelined.

No cuz if we trade him he will be all pro and never hurt again

[countryboi]

Naw, you need to develop and use your guys. The Panthers ain’t a farm team 

[LinvilleGorge]

What could we reasonably expect to get? We're probably better off just hoping against hope he can stay healthy.

[LegioX]

At this rate, we trade him and he turns into a Richard Sherman and never gets injured again. 

[Waldo]

Yes. A 5th round pick that is healthy has a better shot at contributing. Get something now before he goes on IR again and they get nothing. He hasn't even played 50% of the games his entire career and . If they can get a 5th just take it. He played in 6 games last year, hell take a 7th at this point.

First question you got to ask is.....should the Panthers extend him to a fat healthy contract given his injury history?  

If the answer is no or BUT only if he plays for a cheap deal....then a rebuilding team should flat out trade people that aren't part of the future IMO pending a good deal could get made.
