The Carolina Panthers plan to pick up the fifth-year option for cornerback Jaycee Horn, NFL Network reported on Friday.

The team has until May 2 to make the decision for its 2021 first-round draft pick (eighth overall), which would pay him a guaranteed $12.472 million in 2025.

Horn, 24, played only six games (all starts) last season due to a hamstring injury and finished with 27 tackles and five passes defensed.

He has recorded four interceptions, 13 passes defensed and 85 tackles in 22 games (all starts) through his first three seasons.

Horn is entering the final season of his four-year, $21.1 million rookie deal that included a $12.7 million signing bonus. He is set to earn a base salary of $1.055 million in 2024.
