Greg Olsen's Future

With Cam Newton likely done as a Panther, will Greg Olsen come back for another season? Greg is a well known Cam supporter who has said nothing but glowing things about what Cam did for his career. Greg has battled his own foot injury but seems to have come back healthy this season.

Olsen already flirted with retiring this past offseason and joining the broadcast booth. He will be highly sought in the broadcast world, and could probably walk into the MNF booth if he retired tomorrow.

Olsen will be gone at the end of the year.

We fail to make the playoffs=major staff overhaul Rivera, Hurney, etc.

New Staff=No Cam

 

New Staff and No Cam= Olsen in the broadcasting booth.

I expect this to be his last year as well.  He had to think real hard about coming back this year.  

All this stuff makes his decision easier

This will be Greg’s last year regardless of what happens with Cam imo. And I don’t think we see Cam back either honestly. So this will be a very new team going forward. 

That said, we are actually on a great position. We are loaded with talent. We might have the new NFL MVP running behind a very young and promising Oline. Our defense has a couple of super talented DBs and a bucket load of pass rushers.

Most teams are in store for years of rebuilding when this happens. But we seem to have a chance to rebound very quickly.

Have you looked at the players that are under contract moving forward?

This team looks to be about ready for a gut job from top to bottom.  I can only see a handful of the old guard sticking around at this point.

Oline has a lot of young promise. CMC might be MVP. Samuel and Moore are talented young WRs. Ian Wright has shown flashes. 

Burns is a stud along with many other young and/or inexpensive edge rushers. Bradberry and Jackson are a legit set of CBs. Shaq has stepped up huge this year.

Sure, we have holes. We also have loads of young talent on both sides of the ball. Which was my initial point.

Olsen was done after this season anyway.  If it wasn't for the big paycheck he was due this year, he probably would have retired last year and been in the broadcast booth.  One of my all time favorite Panthers.

CMC is great.

Samuel and Moore are good, but Curtis isn't under contract after next season.

Ian is a hope at this point, nothing more.

Burns is good.

Bradberry and Shaq aren't signed next season, Jackson is up and down but is a playmaker.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
