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.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
