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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
