"Appearing on Adam Schefter's Know Them From Adam podcast, Greg Olsen wouldn't rule out holding out of training camp in hopes of a new contract."

 

 

Say it ain't so, Greg!

[Captain Morgan]

didn't see that coming

I doubt he does it. If he does, that's a whole other problem for another day.

But to the topic of Olsen's extension. He deserves it, but I don't think it'd be wise to do it this year. We have Lotulelei, Turner, and Norwell coming up, and they need contracts. We'll have a good amount of cap next year, so everything we do needs to be for the better of the team.

Impossible!!!!! Even the idea of Greg wanting a new contract was just Joe Person click bait.

My opinion of Greg doesn't change is he holds out for the contract he wants.

[Hogmolliesmaht]

Eh, it's not like he really needs the reps. I kind of doubt he will do it though.

[Jon Snow]

I'm not buying this at all.

It's direct quotes from Olsen. What's not to buy?

[Hoenheim]

As long as he starts week 1 I'm not even mad . Which TEs are better than Greg? Maybe Gronk but you could argue Olsen is more valuable because he stays healthy. Tier 1 TEs should all be paid pretty well, I think that includes Olsen , Gronkowski, Witten, Kelse 

With the lack of WR talent on our roster in recent years he's pretty much our TE1 and WR1

I would have to hear it myself.  I just can't believe the he would hold out for more money.  I don't think Dave would put him in that position in the first place.  Didn't he just get a new contract a year or two ago?  Something just ain't right here.

Here's the interview with Shefter:

 

starting at about minute 32. He certainly didn't say no when asked very directly.

So is he going to get the same shade thrown at him as Norman did?
