The Horn situation just leaves me in knots, good player but how can you trust he’ll be healthy?

In the NFL how can you trust ANYONE that they'll be healthy?

We should definitely keep him & pay top dollar. Especially considering that QBs typically are your highest paid players and since Bryce isn't looking too great so far there's a good chance that we will still have a low paid QB in the form of another rookie next year or the year after. So just pay Jaycee now sooner rather than later.

This is just posturing.  Literally nothing to see here.

Nothing in his injury history suggests he's a ticking time bomb.

I'd be ok with tagging him and seeing how his health does next year.

Nothing in his history suggests he can play a full season.  That's the issue.

If he can stay on the field this year and balls out, I'm fine with the team committing to him with an extension.  We just need to see it first.

Don't need to. Next year is the 5th year option

Even better!

almost everyone wanted CMC gone due to injuries and now that he is playing like a hall of famer they’re pissed. Horn will be special his injury days are behind him

[PNW_PantherMan]

There's just no reason to take any other position.  Why would they want it to get out even if they wanted to deal him?  You tank his value by signaling that you don't want him.

Bottom line is he has way more upside than any pick we are likely to get in return for him.  The team would be dumb not to see that out, unless they're offered a good 1st.

Yep. I really hope we aren’t already discussing this unless we get a big discount for taking a risk. If we are paying him on his potential now with 2 years left on his 1st round rookie deal, that’s a terrible mistake. If he wants guaranteed money now then there’s got to be a discount for a guy who’s been hurt all 3 years and only played in 40% of the games.

Personally, I’d want to see him finish this year. The biggest issue with Horn’s missed time is that he’s been hurt at the end of every season. Even if you are able to play 14/15 games, it doesn’t matter if you could never make the playoffs, if god willing we make it again this century.
