They don’t but that’s basically equivalent to a late 6th round pick. Might as well just release him and not waste the 5 minutes bending over to the Ravens.

A pick is a pick. This is the smart move.

He isn't an elite player, he went after multiple teams had filled their need and he wasn't happy to be here. 

There wasn't much to negotiate about.

I don’t think he was necessarily worth a “lot”, I was expecting a 4th or so, maybe a 5th…but to also send them our 6th? It basically amounts to moving up five or 6 spots from round 6 to the bottom of round 5

It just is what it is. He was not re-signing here, he was trending towards locker room cancer and the teams that needed WR help had largely filled those needs.

I am not mad about it at all. This is just what happens when you are in chaos as a team and don't have much in the way of assets to move.

      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.
