Panthers Officially Release Greg Olsen
5 years agoThe Carolina Panthers officially released tight end Greg Olsen on Monday. Olsen will immediately become a free agent and is now able to sign with any team. The 34-year-old (35 in March) and the Panthers agreed to mutually part ways after Olsen spent the last nine years of his career in Carolina. He posted consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with 16 touchdowns between 2014 and 2016, but he has yet to play a full season since 2016 due to various injuries. Olsen could still contribute to another club if he can stay on the field, but depending on where he lands, his ceiling might only be as a high-end, touchdown-dependent fantasy tight end. He could still consider retiring and joining a broadcast booth if he can't find a situation to his liking.
