I love Jaycee Horn he’s a good player but I just can’t agree on making him the highest paid DB in NFL history. Has he really shown he’s the best in the league? And can he continue to stay healthy?! 

I’m with you there. New deals are always at the top of the range even if not the best but I agree. Surtain has performed better and been healthy to boot. Denver’s deal looks cheap now.

I’ll say it again, we absolutely overrate our players in here. When they leave, we then say they were never good.

Horn is solid but his 4 years aren’t close to being the best CB in the league. Unfortunately, we do overpay here because we’ve sucked and aren’t a draw and he’s good enough that he and his agent knew we’d give him whatever he wanted.

He played 15 games last year and was elite.

Horn doesn't really travel though.   That IMO prevents a DB from being called elite.  He is good.   He sort of traveled w/ Nuk Hopkins and Nuk won that matchup.  And even in his most suited up season, still didn't play a full one.

At $25 million per year, Horn is now the highest paid corner in NFL history. 

Cornerback rankings
1. Horn: $25 million per year
2. Jalen Ramsey: $24.1 million 
3. Patrick Surtain II: $24 million

Those three are in a class of their own. No other corner in the NFL even makes $22 million per year. 

Just wait.  Sauce is gonna get paid.

people have been talking about this impending decision for some time.  People that don't like making an injury prone CB the highest paid CB in the NFL largely all had that take before this deal was made. 

They shut him down out of an abundance of caution to end the season, but he essentially put a full season in last year like everybody asked for. 

Let's keep it honest at least: folks that just want to bitch about how bad the Panthers have been are going to cry about this move the same way they'd cry if Jaycee got paid the same elsewhere.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
