Panthers sign Jaycee Horn to $100 million dollar deal

[Hoenheim]

That seems like a ton of money for an injury prone CB. But it's good they got a deal done. Wonder how this affects our cap situation

this kicks in next year and hopefully we should be fine as long as morgan doesnt do anything crazy this week

we want crazy. we don't want to overpay guys we already have that didn't contribute last year.

Hate that.  I get the Panthers were in a tough spot.....but you can't make a dude who has suited up for only 50 something % of his games the highest paid at his spot. 

*Jayce Horn has still never played a single full season

highest paid DB....so far.....

Lots of guys are about to get paid, we just set the market. 

This. Smart move. Inflation is a thing.  I think the CAP gets expanded next year as well.

yeah looking like the hit doesn't come until next year. Using that hurneymagic of backloading.

I’m fine with it. He’ll be the 3rd highest paid DB here pretty soon once Sauce and Stingley get their deal. Best to get ahead of them.

Morgan is betting that Horn's best years are ahead of him and that the health concerns are behind him. Risky bet.

Im sorry but Morgan is dropping the ball so far. Overpaid Tremble, paid starting money for an injured backup center, and now overpaid a CB after one healthy season. Yeah I want him here, but it came to that? 

We are blowing money. What is our cap space?

Y’all are never happy about anything. “We should’ve paid this guy.” “We paid too much for that guy.” “We didn’t get enough for this other dude.” Might as well just root for the Cowboys at this point.

Lol If he wasn't injury prone AF it would have been no one is questioning his ability....

It's his availability that is the issue.

Well the good thing is they signed him early on day 1 of free agency and didn't let the situation fester like with Burns. We basically set the CB market so there's going to be guys that get more as more CBs and their agents bargin with Horns contract as the main talking point.

At $25 million per year, Horn is now the highest paid corner in NFL history. 

Cornerback rankings
1. Horn: $25 million per year
2. Jalen Ramsey: $24.1 million 
3. Patrick Surtain II: $24 million

Those three are in a class of their own. No other corner in the NFL even makes $22 million per year.

I wonder if he will ever play half a season again
