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.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
