Greg Olsen Retiring for Broadcasting Job?

[luke262]

Surely not after getting the contract upgrade he got?!

Yep, gonna need someone to talk me down here...

This explains the silence from MNF on my application status.

Well the pressure is onHurndog to make sure Ebron doesn't leave Charlotte today.

This is not a cause for panic.

I think it's pretty obvious that Greg plans to pursue a career in broadcasting AFTER his playing career is over and I'm sure he's well aware that that day is coming, but that doesn't mean that it's here right now. I have to think that if this is on the table that the team was well aware of this possibility.

Yea I just did some brief reading up on it. No way Olsen replaces Gruden in the booth this year. However this very likely will be Olsens last year as a player. He's already dreaming about life after football.

Good for Greg. Older. Bad injury this year. Worries of CTE. Young family.

Panthers have had several years to prepare this and haven’t.   Same story different player

they best prepare for Newton too whose contract expires in 2020  he has taken quite a beating    Has a  young family     I’m sure plenty of teams would try and get him or he may have other interests 

as we have just seen , QBs don’t grow on trees

[SuperBowlBound]

We can’t have everyone freaking out....

[joemac]

So, Greg retires, and we use his cap savings to sign the Honey Badger and Ebron? 

[Ricky Spanish]

I'm wondering if he's seen Hurney opening up the pocket book for all these FAs when he asked for a raise last year and is using it as leverage to get more money.

But a league source tells PFT that’s a future consideration, and not anything that would take Olsen off the field this year.

Its a future consideration. Not for this year!
