CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The fifth-year option was a big reason the Carolina Panthers traded into the first-round on Thursday night to draft cornerback Xavier Legette at No. 32, and now the organization is using that option on its 2021 first-round pick.
The team, per league source, will exercise the option on cornerback Jaycee Horn to lock him down through the 2025 season.
Horn, the eighth overall pick in '21, is projected to make $12.472 million in 2025.
Injuries have limited Horn to 22 of 51 games the past three seasons.
