Seems like Olsen may want to play again

[pantherj]

If Thomas is better than Olsen then I'll eat my tv remote. I'm not going to be eating my remote ever.

[Jangler]

what does his foot have to say?

[Wolfpack352]

Let him play, he is still good.  But I would expect less playing time and see more of Thomas.  Olsen still commands the attention of the defense because he plays smart and good hands.

[DeAngelo Beason]

Nope.  He's been a nonfactor.  Sorry.

BYE olsen. BYE davis. BYE pep.

None of those players you mentioned want to continue to play for the "paycheck". 

None of them need the money.

Translation: I'm not going to give back my signing bonus even though I know my foot want last 3 games next year.

I don't think cutting him is really an option and the reality is Olsen is a back up TE at this point in his career and Thomas is the future.

A big guy, coming off an injury, well over 30, that wants an extension?  Only 1 guy to call, and Greg and TD had him on speed dial.

Dumb to extend GO earlier this year...it's not about if he wants to come back or not, our hands are tied if he doesn't retire.  Hurney made sure to F that up.

If his foot is healthy--completely healthy---he is not worth the $$, but we tend to reward with contracts instead of anticipating their decreasing value.  He has us in check mate--and that is on the GM.

They’re definitely doing it for the money. Do they need it? No. But they are. Why ask for bigger contracts. Why not play for vet min. Help the team out with the cap so they could sign more better players. Guaranteed TD and Pep aint coming for less than 3-5M

Dude. Every one of those leaders, play for the love of the game. 

I'll take their leadership, and on field production at whatever their average salaries will be. None of their salaries will even come close to hamstringing the teams cap.

Great player, great teammate, deserves to stay, but this is football and he's on the never ending injury train. Hope he gets a good commentator job and replaces any one of the several commentators that need to be put out to pasture. I think he could make a decent position coach but that does not seem like the angle he's interested in.

Not so sure how much they actually "love the game" anymore...more like they love "being an NFL player".

Just a hunch.

Yeh, it’s terrible that they’re trying to make as much money as they can... nobody here on the Huddle would ever do that

[PhillyB]

long offseason rest and a team friendly deal, sure. he'll be an asset to cam's return next year even on a limited snap count and help ian thomas's development
