Key Plаyerѕ Wһo Cаrolіnа Hopeѕ to Sіgn Long-Term

The Panthers have two cornerstone players-makers they must lock-up

As the Carolina Panthers gear up for a crucial offseason, the focus shifts not just to new talent, but also to keeping some of their key players in-house. With the NFL Combine underway, Panthers fans are eagerly awaiting updates on the team’s free agents. While the Panthers look ahead to potential college prospects, keeping current talent intact is essential to long-term success. Here’s a look at three players the Panthers should prioritize re-signing.

Jaycee Horn: Cornerstone of the Defense

A defensive rebuild starts with Jaycee Horn. With his rookie contract nearing its end, the Panthers must act quickly. General Manager Dan Morgan has expressed optimism about getting Horn signed to an extension soon. “Things are moving along, so hopefully, we get something done there sooner than later,” Morgan said. Given the team’s struggles on defense in 2024, Horn’s lockdown ability and youth are critical to the Panthers’ rebuilding efforts.

Derrick Brown: The Defensive Force

One of the team’s most dominant defensive players, Derrick Brown’s performance in the trenches has been a highlight for the Panthers. A key figure in the defensive line, Brown’s presence is crucial for controlling the game at the line of scrimmage. As his rookie deal also comes to a close, the Panthers need to ensure they lock him down long-term to build a foundation for their defensive unit.
