Panthers Parting Ways With Greg Olsen
5 years agoThe Carolina Panthers and tight end Greg Olsen have mutually agreed to part ways after nine seasons together. However, the three-time Pro Bowler who has played 13 NFL seasons said he still wants to continue playing. The 34-year-old was set to count $11.675 million against the salary cap in 2020. Olsen became the first tight end in history to have 1,000 yards receiving in three straight seasons from 2014 to 2016. Foot injuries forced Olsen to miss 16 combined games in 2017 and 2018. He managed to stay healthy last year, but he caught only 52 passes for 597 yards and two touchdowns. If he continues playing for another team, Olsen will likely be more of a low-ceiling, touchdown-dependent TE2.
