Panthers Extend Greg Olsen


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

I could see them using this offseason to do deals for guys like Olsen, Davis, Johnson, etc and putting off working on the deals for Cam and Luke till late in the season or next offseason (especially with Luke).

I agree. Add in the likeliness that the cap will jump again next year by maybe $10 Mil again and the two truly monster contracts of Cam and Luke may be the large majority of next years money.

I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Get the infrastructure of the roster around Cam in place, then talk extension. Next year, do the same with Luke.

All in all a solid deal, but not loving how it adds $3 million to his cap hit this year. Still hoping we can get to that $21 million mark in cap space. According to my math we now $15,642,313 in space.

Remember the draft changes all. Need around 5 million to sign the class. Picks 1-5 push the 51st contract higher. 6-7 normally don't count, cause 51st is normally around $500,000. Plus 90,000 for UDFAs too.

Plus remember dave likes to carry around 5 million into the season as insurance.

So........basically panthers don't have any room. Unless other contracts get reworked or worded to hit next year when the panthers should have around 55 million in space(no cam deal or TD)

Charlotte loves Olsen as much as he loves Charlotte. Great move. I was so disappointed when we didn't get a chance to draft him.

 

I can see him as a future GM, he's smarter than most of them now. He'll learn from Gettleman, you watch.

 

Can Greg play LT?

lol I think he basically does each time he's lined up on the left next to Bell. :D

Two years ago I said he was overpaid. Olsen was just another terrible herniay contract, but in those two years he's been worth the money. 7.5 is fair to all sides, plus given his work ethic no issues with him haynesworthing. He's cam best friend on the field too.

I believe we only need about 3 million due to us picking so late. Also, we HAVE to spend 89% of our cap, we won't carry 5 mil extra this year.

    • I thought he was from watching him play and also doing his first HC job. I thought he was the real deal  Apparently what happened is Kraft committed to Mayo and I don’t remember the timeline exactly - but Vrabel was unemployed at the same time Belichick was unemployed. They both were fired after the 2023 season.  Kraft hired Mayo. Who was kind of an obvious disaster. He probably already had the deal in place but I will give Kraft credit for not sleeping. With Vrabel out there for 2025 he made the move he needed to make and if it hurt Mayo’s feelings then oh well.  I guess you can tell I am not fond of Kraft but that was a really savvy move. At his age, pretty good. Still has it. 
    • It’s going to feel like a home game for the bills. There are so many of their fans that live down here now, and many of them have never seen Allen play in person since their last visit was 8 years ago. It didn’t matter for the cowboys game, but it might here. I think we likely lose a close one. Probably a questionable flag or two that doesn’t go our way. X factor for Buffalo will be Kincaid and Knox. If we do win it’s because we get ahead and play keep away from Allen. FYI- I have many friends who are Bills fans that are fed up with Beane who we all revere and think is the one that got away. They feel like he was great to land Josh but has done a terrible job of building around him (especially at WR) and rely on him to become super man to win- sounds kind of familiar, like the last time we had a franchise QB.    
    • I always thought of him as an uptight military family dude, didn't know he needs to wash that mouth out with soap lol.
