Didn't see this anywhere.  Nice read.

Very few players ever say anything else in this situation.

Pay me I will play anywhere. This the NFL players will always go to who pays them the most money. 

If we pay him he will stay. If not he will leave. It's that simple.

Good. Lock him down. Drafted player entering his prime at a position of need. No brainer

you forgot injury prone

Yes pay him. There is an injury risk, but broken bones can't be that common. Hit got hit a fluky way on the last break if memory serves. Keep him. He's proven he's an outstanding DB, and this is a passing league. Our offense is functioning now, and the less pieces we need to rebuild the defense, the better.

Yeah let’s let a lockdown CB1 in his prime walk coming off his best season cause we’re playing 4D chess and know he’s gonna get injured in the future

Pay him but it needs to be a realistic incentive based deal and one where the team can move on a few seasons if need be. No more sweetheart contracts.

True, but still great to hear.  I always want players that want to be here. I know money talks, but still nice to hear.

Wrong. Frankie Luvu walked out of here and we had offered him more money. Environment matters. Winning matters. Look at how many players played on reduced contracts to win a SB with Brady. Money isn't everything unless your team is a perpetual loser.

How much did we offer?

 

If you talking about a few mil then that's not a lot of money to turn down. Now if he turned down 5 extra mil to leave then you might have a point.

Of course there are always exceptions and things that are more and less important to a given player, but Horn's comments were the typical lip service you almost always hear and it will not result in him taking a major discount. The team will not hesitate to make a business decision in a player and they are all aware of that.
