Barely dodged that bulllet.  He did next to nothing for OKC in their deep playoff run.  His list of injuries throughout his career is insane.  Happy Trails.

I don’t think he ever fully recovered from that horrific injury he suffered in Boston. Which made signing him a real head scratcher but that’s MJ for you. Happy retirement, GH.

he was good in year 1 then injuries hit and never ended and even when on the court he kinda sucked. oh well, we wouldn't be in any different place right now had we not signed him. hopefully new ownership and front office can avoid these types of deals going forward.

Especially with this contract being back to back with that horrible Batum contract the previous few years. Just overpaid obviously under-motivated guys getting a big pay day. We'll see if Ball can actually stay healthy with his big contract, Luckily we're actually not doomed without him since they nailed the Brandon Miller pick

      Ekwonu contract

      See my post edit above, he certainly hasn’t had that lockdown/on an island type of effect. Josh Norman has that type of effect for a couple years with us and I’ll be honest that I haven’t felt like that for Horn yet. Looking at his 2024 stats (https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/jaycee-horn/83375#seasonStatsWidget) doesn’t scream top QB. I think he’s good but I cringe a little when I hear he’s elite when healthy since his most healthy year was when we set a record for points against.

      Our defense hasn't been elite. That doesn't mean that an individual player hasn't been. All an elite CB can do for your defense is greatly limit the other team's best receiver or greatly limit the passing success to his side of the field if he's a zone guy. There's still a lot of opportunity for the opposing team elsewhere.  I'm not saying he's a Luke or a Peppers. He's not. But I think he's a top 10 CB when healthy. I consider a top 10 CB to be elite. If you have a different definition, that's fine. I'm not gonna really argue where we draw that line or even if you think Horn is saying top 15 instead of top 10. Again, fine. Not really gonna argue that either. All I'm really trying to argue is that Horn is pretty damn good when he's on the field.

      I'm not saying there's not a place for him here. I'm saying we massively overpaid for his skill set in today's NFL. Both statements can absolutely be true.
