I will take that bet. Most of the mega deals are already inked and the CB market is picked over.

Unless you think someone is going to extend a rookie with 2 or 3 years in the NFL. That would be quite unusual.

Yeah, about that...

I don't think you will see a CB eclipse that until maybe next offseason. I don't believe there are any imminent deals for guys on rookie deals. The FA market does not have anyone that should be getting anywhere near that.

Well, that didn't take long. About like I'd said elsewhere, 3 years, $30 million apiece. And I really don't even know this guy, he wasn't on my radar.

He is very good but similar to Horn, I don't think that is a $30 mil guy.

Maybe these mega WR contracts are bringing up CB prices too.

So….2024 he was a top 10 corner? I concede he made the Pro Bowl.  Which is a fan and then player popularity contest.   Top players at their position often don’t make it and we often see guys who aren’t make it.  That’s what the Pro Bowl is. 

Statistically he wasn’t in 2024 by old metrics. Nor did he rank as such by the newer metrics and methods out there. 

And the ONE game to my knowledge he largely matched up all game with their opponents lead WR….a washed Nuk Hopkins won the day 

You think Jaycee Horn of the Carolina Panthers is out here winning popularity contests?  Hell if anything, it's more likely he suffered from the fan portion and had to make up a lot of ground among player and coach voting.

Remember this graphic from a year ago?  Somehow I don't think our fans are coming out in droves to campaign for Pro Bowl selections for our players.  I don't hold the Pro Bowl in super high regard but if the claim is that no reasonable person thinks Jaycee Horn is a Top 10 cornerback, I think pointing to his Pro Bowl selection is surely a valid rebuttal to that.  It would appear a lot of NFL players and coaches think he's a Top 10 cornerback, which I find rather compelling.

A lot of us were saying this.  It's just the new market for a top CB.  As the cap go up the cost for a premium player at a premium position follows.

It's inflation, man. And yeah, it might not have looked like it at the time, but maybe by next season the Horn contract will look rather pedestrian.

I definitely did not see that coming. IDK WTF the Texans are doing. Gutted their OL and then make a $30 mil CB contract. 

They have a HC that should have stayed the best DC. Most defensive guys shouldn't be running a team anymore.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Teams do some super stupid stuff with mid-fairly good QBs. I think they are just absolutely terrified they will be stuck with a QB that is not the quality of the QB they have now, even if its someone like Daniel Jones. Lots of trash QBs go in the first round. I encourage you to take a look at the sad, sad list of first round QBs in the last 15 years.

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.
