The Patriots recently restructured Rob Gronkowski's contract to keep the All-Pro tight end happy with a chance to earn a serious pay hike this season.

Might the Panthers consider a similar raise for their own star tight end?

After earning a Pro Bowl nod in each of the past three seasons, Greg Olsen is seeking a new deal in line with the NFL's best at the position, reports Joseph Person of The Charlotte Observer.

The $22.5 million extension signed in March of 2015 makes Olsen the league's seventh-highest paid tight end at $7.5 million annually.

 

@15 had to tag you for being my bitch, bitch.

I'd take that with a grain of salt. It's based from a click-bait Joe Person article on a topic that Olsen didn't even bring up.

I mean I'm sure he wants to get more money if possible, but he's not the kind of guy to pull a Norman on us.

if you ask anyone if they want more money, they are not going to say no... not the same as actively looking for a restructured contract

He's one of the top 3. He should be paid as such

Honestly, he's earned it. Just have to be careful of age and length.

But he's earned the rewards for sure.

Weird.

I think NFL contracts should have more incentives and less guaranteed $$$. If you perform well like Olsen you make more $$$, if you suck you don't make as much. You don't see these players restructure and give up money if they have a couple down seasons unless they are at risk of getting cut.
