Horn was voted to his first Pro Bowl last season after enjoying the best season of his young career. In 15 games, he recorded a career-high 68 tackles, five tackles for loss, two sacks, 13 passes defended and an interception.

For a player who was limited to just 22 games over his first three seasons due to injuries, last year was a huge boost to both his career and his confidence. But it also gave a boost to his wallet.
In March, the Panthers signed Horn to a  four–year, $100 million contract extension that included $72 million guaranteed, $46.7 million guaranteed at signing, and a signing bonus of $28.4 million. The deal made Horn the highest paid defensive back in the league at the time of signing.
As a result, it’s no wonder that the Panthers are exercising an abundance of caution as it pertains to any potential accidents or injuries.
