The Carolina Panthers have restructured the contract of cornerback Jaycee Horn, a move reported by Joseph Person of The Athletic that frees up significant salary cap space for the team.
According to the report, the Panthers converted $16.4 million of Horn’s salary into a signing bonus and added a void year to his contract. This restructuring is expected to create $13.1 million in cap space, which the team plans to use to sign members of its rookie class.
Horn, who is 26 years old, signed a four-year, $100 million contract extension before the 2025 season. During the 2025 campaign, he appeared in all 16 games, recording 37 tackles, one tackle for loss, five interceptions, and eight passes defensed.
