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.

      It doesn't matter if you give him a new WR1. To do it you have to devoted MORE resources to him. At some point you have to stop or there's nothing left for the defense. Our defense looks like scrubs because that's what we've got because we've spent a shitload on offense. He got a 1st round WR and a shiny new RB in round 2.  Bryce had a couple of good games but we are not competing against the Chiefs or Eagles. They're headed to the playoffs with realistic SB aspirations and we're headed to a top 10 pick. Those teams have competed for an entire season where the Panthers have ummm... They've almost gotten to as many wins as Matt Rhule in a season.  Would you rather have Bryce or Lamar? Because we've spent more on Bryce and to build around him than what it would have cost to trade for Lamar.  This team can't get better when it's having to devote everything to making it possible for our #1 QB god to play average NFL football.  I may end up being wrong and Bryce may become the GOAT. But one thing you won't see me doing is flip flopping on where I stand every couple of weeks because he has good or bad games. I think Bryce is our version of Daniel Jones and I think we're going to fug ourselves pretending he's Pat Mahomes.
