I will take that bet. Most of the mega deals are already inked and the CB market is picked over.

Unless you think someone is going to extend a rookie with 2 or 3 years in the NFL. That would be quite unusual.

Yeah, about that...

I don't think you will see a CB eclipse that until maybe next offseason. I don't believe there are any imminent deals for guys on rookie deals. The FA market does not have anyone that should be getting anywhere near that.

Well, that didn't take long. About like I'd said elsewhere, 3 years, $30 million apiece. And I really don't even know this guy, he wasn't on my radar.

He is very good but similar to Horn, I don't think that is a $30 mil guy.

Maybe these mega WR contracts are bringing up CB prices too.

So….2024 he was a top 10 corner? I concede he made the Pro Bowl.  Which is a fan and then player popularity contest.   Top players at their position often don’t make it and we often see guys who aren’t make it.  That’s what the Pro Bowl is. 

Statistically he wasn’t in 2024 by old metrics. Nor did he rank as such by the newer metrics and methods out there. 

And the ONE game to my knowledge he largely matched up all game with their opponents lead WR….a washed Nuk Hopkins won the day 

You think Jaycee Horn of the Carolina Panthers is out here winning popularity contests?  Hell if anything, it's more likely he suffered from the fan portion and had to make up a lot of ground among player and coach voting.

Remember this graphic from a year ago?  Somehow I don't think our fans are coming out in droves to campaign for Pro Bowl selections for our players.  I don't hold the Pro Bowl in super high regard but if the claim is that no reasonable person thinks Jaycee Horn is a Top 10 cornerback, I think pointing to his Pro Bowl selection is surely a valid rebuttal to that.  It would appear a lot of NFL players and coaches think he's a Top 10 cornerback, which I find rather compelling.

A lot of us were saying this.  It's just the new market for a top CB.  As the cap go up the cost for a premium player at a premium position follows.
