Olsen Contract Tweaked

So why wouldn't the rest of our key players with multiple years left on their previously-negotiated contracts just bitch for similar incentives? Apparently, it works in Carolina. 

Because they didn't name their kid after the owner, and obviously don't have as strong ties to the Panthers organization as Greg Olsen.

Greg Olsen gets an extra $2M in incentives. Can hit them by reaching benchmarks in catches, rcvg yards, yds per catch and indiv. honors.

ha...

first reception of the season for 1 yard @ 1 yard per catch for a personal record of shortest reception of his career = incentives met.

cha ching!

Marty Hurney hired in part to clean up the Thomas Davis and Greg Olsen situations. Check and check.

I'm not sure how to take this comment.  Is this a one time thing or is it added on each year for the remainder of the contract?   To me it seems like much to do about nothing if that's all he wanted.  Hard to believe Dave would balk at that.

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
