This is the first extension for general manager Dan Morgan with a player he either drafted or signed as an undrafted rookie.

“I’m really proud of Jalen, just another guy that has been through adversity with injuries and has overcome it, and it’s a credit to him,” said Morgan at his end-of-the-season press conference in January.

“Jalen’s a prime example of that, just put the work in and he’s a resilient guy,” he continued. “He came back, and he played great. So, in terms of the contract and stuff like that, again, me and (executive vice president of football) Brandt (Tilis) are talking through timing on when to extend him and give him a deal.”

Now, those talks are done, pen is ready to hit paper, and Jalen Coker can return for training camp knowing he will be with the Panthers for at least three more years.
