Last offseason, after a contentious negotiation that included allowing the star cornerback to seek a trade, the Chicago Bears and Jaylon Johnson reached an extension that now looks like a steal.

When Mike Jackson was traded to Carolina, it brought a "new sense of life." He was rewarded with a 2-year deal and is eager to get after it.

Jaycee Horn has agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Carolina Panthers worth $100 million, including $70 million in guaranteed money, making him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL, according to a person familiar with the situation.
