We already have the role of "elite big money CB who rarely sees the field" covered.

Yep. No thanks unless he’s crazy cheap.

Based on the last 4 years, even if you make the crazy assumption that they were both healthy on the exact same weeks, they could have only played together 29 out of 68 games.

Amazingly enough, Jaire is more fragile now. Again, only way I’d want him is if he wants to give the team a home town discount for 1-2 years to prove he can stay healthy and get another deal like Gilmore.

I wonder if sign with the panthers at a discount, since he is from Charlotte 

[Riverboat Ron]

Just turn off injuries.

Team friendly deal and no pressure to be relevant or compete for anything.

I agree with this. ASJ would be another good option.

Is he still unsigned?  Big fan of him since college and I feel his dad was one of the most underrated players in NFL history.  He’s a baller.

I would rather trade for Ramsey. Alexander was great but man his injuries have been on par with Horns in the last couple years.

He's still unsigned, due to injury I think. He should be able to play this year, but I think teams are just waiting for more clarity before signing him.

Sign but make it mostly incentive driven contract

[ClawOn]

Sounds like the knee is cooked. Wish him the best though

Well, he's already guaranteed to be a self-appointed captain of the team 8 times next season.

He was also trying to get a new deal and he and the Packers were far apart.  I don't know the details, but after signing an $80M + contract with  $30M signing bonus, I have to wonder what this guy was expecting.  Playing fewer than half the games in that contract, he still felt he had negotiating power.  I did not like giving Horn $100m for the same basic reason.

Far apart means expensive, not a chance. I didn’t like Horn’s contract because I don’t think he’s proven to be the top CB salary wise (at the time) and even in his 2 healthy years he still missed 6 games. That said, Horn at least is coming off his most healthy season and is 25 whereas Jaire has missed 10 games in each of the past two years and is 28.

I really like our starters. 

 

Although,  on a good deal, will never complain about adding talent.
