- Panthers CB Jaycee Horn is asked if he wants to stay in Carolina
Carolina Panthers president of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan expressed his desire to keep cornerback Jaycee Horn around for the long haul during his end-of-season press conference nearly two weeks ago. But is the feeling mutual?
Horn was a guest on Wednesday's episode of The Jim Rome Show , where host Jim Rome asked the 25-year-old defender about his future in the NFL. And Horn, who will be entering the fifth and final year of his rookie contract in 2025, seems like he wants that future to be in Carolina.

"I'm a guy that's kinda building on loyalty," he told Rome . "I wanna be where I was drafted. I seen those struggling days as a Panther when I first came in, even still going through a little bit of them now.
"And I know the team is going in the right direction, the organization's going in the right direction and Charlotte's a cool spot. So I'd definitely love to be there and be a part of the change and see the glory days."
The former eighth overall pick is currently experiencing some glory days of his own, as he was selected to the 2025 Pro Bowl Games back on Jan. 2. The all-star nod is the first such honor of Horn's four-year pro tenure.
2024 saw Horn, who missed 29 of a possible 51 games over his first three campaigns, play in a career-high 15 outings. He also posted bests in combined tackles (68), tackles for a loss (five), sacks (2.0) and passes defensed (13).
