The Carolina Panthers still have high hopes for Jaycee Horn despite the injury issues that have plagued him over his first three seasons in the NFL.
Per ESPN's David Newton, the Panthers consider Horn "one of their cornerstones" and are prepared to "pay top dollar" on an extension to keep him.
Horn has two years remaining on his rookie contract after the Panthers exercised his fifth-year option for 2025 in April.
Expectations have been high for Horn since he was selected with the No. 8 pick in the 2021 NFL draft.
