The Patriots recently restructured Rob Gronkowski's contract to keep the All-Pro tight end happy with a chance to earn a serious pay hike this season.

Might the Panthers consider a similar raise for their own star tight end?

After earning a Pro Bowl nod in each of the past three seasons, Greg Olsen is seeking a new deal in line with the NFL's best at the position, reports Joseph Person of The Charlotte Observer.

The $22.5 million extension signed in March of 2015 makes Olsen the league's seventh-highest paid tight end at $7.5 million annually.

 

@15 had to tag you for being my bitch, bitch.

I'd take that with a grain of salt. It's based from a click-bait Joe Person article on a topic that Olsen didn't even bring up.

I mean I'm sure he wants to get more money if possible, but he's not the kind of guy to pull a Norman on us.

I think NFL contracts should have more incentives and less guaranteed $$$. If you perform well like Olsen you make more $$$, if you suck you don't make as much. You don't see these players restructure and give up money if they have a couple down seasons unless they are at risk of getting cut.

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction
