Greg Olsen doesn't rule out "holding out" of training camp

I doubt he does it. If he does, that's a whole other problem for another day.

But to the topic of Olsen's extension. He deserves it, but I don't think it'd be wise to do it this year. We have Lotulelei, Turner, and Norwell coming up, and they need contracts. We'll have a good amount of cap next year, so everything we do needs to be for the better of the team.

As long as he starts week 1 I'm not even mad . Which TEs are better than Greg? Maybe Gronk but you could argue Olsen is more valuable because he stays healthy. Tier 1 TEs should all be paid pretty well, I think that includes Olsen , Gronkowski, Witten, Kelse 

With the lack of WR talent on our roster in recent years he's pretty much our TE1 and WR1

It's direct quotes from Olsen. What's not to buy?

I would have to hear it myself.  I just can't believe the he would hold out for more money.  I don't think Dave would put him in that position in the first place.  Didn't he just get a new contract a year or two ago?  Something just ain't right here.

Here's the interview with Shefter:

 

starting at about minute 32. He certainly didn't say no when asked very directly.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I get what you are saying. I'm just saying we made it to the win, we should have a bit of class and not dogpile on the QB because his stat line wasn't great. His stat lines weren't great for almost his entire pro career, but this time, we got a win. Give him a breather.  The team cleared the bar. In the end, that's all that matters. Do it enough times and well, good things happen.  We've shat the bed enough times with good-ish QB play. It's not like we've been regularly to the playoffs even with our best performing QBs over the years. Heck, Matt Stafford was a helluva QB in Detroit for a long time with nothing to show for it. Steve Bartowski was a great QB back in the day, but in 20 years of watching I saw one playoff game for the Falcons. Heck, even Dan Marino spent most of his illustrious career on a lousy Dolphins team.  And yet, Tampa's first Superbowl ring was with the esteemed Trent Dilfer at the helm. Sometimes it goes like that.

      I don't care what they tell me. Its what they actually do that matters. Coaches and GM's say crap all the time to keep fan interest. They are always trying to sell you something.

      But you have to separate the 2 things in order to move forward.  Its okay to enjoy winning and its also okay to be critical of what is happening.  Coaches do it why cant we?   Also they have to be thinking next off season, next year all in real time.  They are applying what is working, where help is needed and how to get better and make plans for that.   I am weirdly confident that Dan and Dave are seeing what we are seeing and will adjust.   The wildcard however are the teppers
