Panthers sign Jaycee Horn to $100 million dollar deal


Recommended Posts

....and now Jaycee's deal looks like a steal. Been exactly one week. Imagine what it will look like after next offseason. 

Pay your good players to stay. Their deals always look better a year or two later. Don't overpay for average talent. But blue chip talent? pay.

The "Horn has never finished a season" narrative is ignorant at best, willfully misleading at worst. He would've finished last season had the team been playing into the postseason. He got shut down out an abundance of caution, likely a lesson learned after losing Corbett at the end of the prior season.

you are giving Horn a benefit of the doubt his career history says he shouldn't get.   We don't know he would have suited up if it mattered at the end.  Horn was limited the week prior going into the AZ game.  

and then the only reason you shut him down and only him.....is he so injury prone vs the rest of the field.  Which isn't really a great aspect of Horn.  That he has to get special treatment because he is so easily injured.

You're assuming that he shouldn't get credit for being shut down out of an abundance of caution when he participated in the relay race (1/30/25) + flag football (2/2/25) at the Pro Bowl? He was inactive for the Panthers' last two games on 12/29/24 and 1/5/25. He most definitely would have suited up if there was a postseason run coming.

They also shut Josey Jewell down for the final two weeks along with Jaycee Horn. Robert Hunt was also out for week 18. Was it because they're injury prone and need special treatment too? That's ridiculous to assume. This isn't something uncommon for a team with a losing record to do. Hurney especially was notorious for it.

Yeah, I’m not giving the benefit of the doubt to someone that has been Mr. Glass throughout his entire career here.   I don’t know if he would have suited up if it mattered….because it’s Jayce Horn.  Hunt isn’t Horn.  No one is Horn. 

it’s not dishonest to point out Horn had never played a full season.  He hasn’t.   He barely has played over 50% of the time.

Throughout his entire career? Every player is hurt by the end of the season. You have the fact that he suited up for a meaningless all-star game sitting right there but you still doubt he'd have suited up for the postseason? That's not exactly rational.

He played all of last season and was shutdown in preparation to make sure he'd be healthy for this season when he costs the team $25M. Holding that against him isn't rational. We can hold the totality of it against him, sure. Having two seasons where he missed over 50% of the games is something that needs to be paid attention to. To sit here though and point at last season as a knock against him? Nonsensical.

Yes.  Throughout out his entire career.  Not sure what you are trying to argue....that Jayce Horn hasn't been Mr. Glass while in Carolina? Jeff Otah while employed started in a higher % of games and he is the historical board meme for not being able to play. 

His cumulative career and not suiting up is the knock.  And given what that has been....I'm not cherry picking last year out and just assuming a guy that never can stay healthy totally would have been there if we needed him.
