REPORT: Greg Olsen will play next season

[RumHam]

ankle is a ticking time bomb. he's out by the second game, back by sixth, out by 10th, back for last game. retires.

Run back that TE group + maybe another late rounder gem like Ian Thomas. I'll take that.

Oh I don't blame him one bit lol.

Financially till the booth calls he has two extra years pay. Screws the team but definitely not him.

With Greg, it's pretty darn simple from the Panthers perspective.  We just can't afford to cut him.  We have plenty of other players who "need" to be cut and doing so will hurt our cap.  We just can't get rid of everyone whom we might otherwise like to.

Greg is one who, when healthy, can be a key player for us.  So do you cut him, or Matt Kalil?  Greg, or Dontari Poe? 

We have hard choices to make this offseason that are going to hurt our cap, but Greg isn't even in the top five of those choices.  Our best outcome for Greg is that he gets healthy, plays the whole season splitting time with and teaching Ian Thomas.  Next offseason, we can cut him with minimal cap impact *if* he doesn't produce.  Heck, if he's hurt again, maybe he retires and saves us the trouble.

He'd be the best receiving threat not named CMC, and a natural leader. 

It isn't even debatable the team is better with him on it.

Post June 1st cut if he won't restructure.

Greg is a great possession receiving option when healthy. But at this point in his career do you want to take a big-play maker off the field for him? I'd rather have a slot like Wright in the game or a pure blocker like Manhertz to help the run game and nullify speed rushers in the passing  game. Asking Greg to block DEs and 3-4 OLBs usually kills running plays.

Chillin' on the 7th flo'
I gotta let these chickens know
Big Greg is in the house
And I’m fi’n to make these hoes choke
On my balls, on my d***
Then I bust a n** quick
On her face, on her chest
 

 

 

 

BARS!

Nope. Kalil and/or Poe, sure. Olsen's cap/new cash for 2019 is $3.4m. That's not enough savings to release him over the chance that he plays a solid full season. There is no one we can get for $3.4m that is close to Greg. 2020, sure. You can save $8.1m in cash and cap and you know if he's healthy again or not.

What do you think the chances are "that he plays a solid full season"?
