In a vacuum each of the guard contacts is fine and don't get me wrong I love investing in OL and DL, but I'm not really a fan of paying 2 guards big $. Pay your tackle(s), go younger/cheaper on the interior. But otherwise generally agree 

With a short QB I tend to feel guards are more valuable than tackles.

Show me any available metric or measure where he has been top 10?

Some people deal in emotions over logic.

I'd say he's top 15. To get into the top ten though he's going to have to stay healthy and play a full season. That's what makes his contract a massive risk. I like him. I hope it pays off for us. On the flip side though I know my Panthers. We'll see.

Man when Horn is healthy there aren’t many corners I’d take over him. The problem is Evero. I really don’t know why we’re paying Jaycee all this money for him to play cover 3 half the game. Complete waste of his ability

Not top 10?? Honestly how do some of ya'll even talk sports man smh

What season was he a top 10 corner.....and it can be backed with a statistical argument OR can be backed by a consensus opinion that can be shared? 

dude has barely suited up for over 50% of his games in Carolina.  That's like claiming CMC was a top 10 RB this year.   

and if you look at 2024 for Jayce Horn (where he stayed on the field ALMOST a full season)....his breakdown of all the different ways you can evaluate a corner has been shared.  Nothing top 10 about that performance.  Horn also doesn't travel w/ opposing 1s.

By this time next year horn contract won't even be top 5

Overall or amongst corners?

As of right now he's making more than Surtain and Ramsey and he's only played 15 games once in his career. We got bent over. No use pretending otherwise.

I hate when people compare player based on avg salary.  There are so many other variables that make a difference. 

Length of contract
Guaranteed money
Guaranteed money as a % of the overall contract
Salary cap
Age
Contract structure
Contract timing
Market value

I'm also a big believer in market scarcity and supply and demand.  Teams can't decide to get a elite player whenever they want because they not available very often.

You do know he was selected to the Probowl this season right? So all the voters had a concensus opinion that's he's top 10 corner unless they carried 10 corners on the roster I don’t know about lol

Let's really look at Horn.

His contract is in the middle of guaranteed money for top corners.
He's 24 so his prime years are ahead of him.
11-12% of the projected cap is reasonable for a top CB

Like all market setting contracts fans clutch their pearls but the rate at which the salary cap goes up makes it much more palatable.

His stats compared to guaranteed money isn't very good and could be seen as overpaid regarding that data point but these are his stats on a bad defense.  Everyone knows CB stats are heavily related to pass rush so I'm not worried over this one.

Injury history doesn't bother me too much as they were more fluke injuries and were not repeated injuries to the same body part or real indicators of future injuries.

His contract is fair and par for the course in the NFL for top CB's.  Any other team in our position would have done this same deal.  You don't let elite talent walk out the door, especially considering the lack of options.

Ooohhhh that's how you evaluate players going by "the metrics" from a bunch of computer nerds like PFF telling you how good a player is? Lol there isn't 10 CB's in the NFL you can name that are better than Horn I don't care WHAT metric you go by!!

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
