Per ESPN’s David Newton, Panthers GM Dan Morgan said they are speaking with CB Jaycee Horn‘s reps and hope to get an extension done sooner rather than later.
Earlier this offseason, Horn expressed his desire to remain in Carolina. He’s entering the final year under contract with the team after they picked up his fifth-year option.
Horn, 25, was the No. 8 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Panthers out of South Carolina. He is the son of former NFL WR Joe Horn, who was a four-time Pro Bowler as a member of the Saints.
He just finished the final year of a four-year, $21,112,145 rookie contract with the Panthers that included a $12,714,287 signing bonus and a base salary of $1.055 million for 2024. The fifth-year option for Horn will cost the Panthers $12.472 million for 2025.
In 2024, Horn appeared in 15 games for the Panthers and recorded 68 total tackles, five tackles for loss, two sacks, one interception and 13 pass deflections.
We’ll have more on Horn as the news is available.
