Carolina has positive, if mixed, feelings on Horn’s contract
Last week we asked fans of the Carolina Panthers how they felt about the then-record breaking contract extension that cornerback Jaycee Horn landed at the start of free agency. Since then, the market for NFL cornerbacks has been reset by the even bigger extension that the Houston Texans awarded to Derek Stingley Jr.
Panthers fans gave Horn’s extension a positive endorsement, but most weren’t ready to say that general manager Dan Morgan and executive vice president of football operations Brandt Tilis knocked this particular contract out of the park.
75% of fans gave Horn’s new contract an A or a B grade, but the overwhelming majority of that group voted for the B grade. I’d be curious to see if those grades shifted more towards an A if we re-ran the survey in light of the Stingley extension.
For now, it seems that fans are at least happy that Horn’s future is with the Carolina Panthers, even if they are somewhat wary of his injury history.
