  GREG OLSENTE, CAROLINA PANTHERS

  

  The Athletic's Richard Deitsch reports that FOX Sports has "made it clear" it will hire Greg Olsen as an announcer if he decides to retire.

  Olsen has already served as a guest analyst for FOX for several years, so it would be a natural transition for the soon-to-be 35-year-old. During his test gigs, Olsen has been much better in the booth than fellow tight end Jason Witten was on Monday Night Football. Olsen finally shook his persistent foot woes in 2019 but had his least productive season since 2011. He has strongly hinted that he is leaning toward retirement.

Good for him

He is going to make such an awesome announcer.

Worst kept secret in the NFL.

Olsen on your TV. Look out for Panthers tight end Greg Olsen on your screen during Super Bowl Sunday. Olsen, who worked as a NFL analyst for FOX in the past, will be appearing on the network’s Super Bowl Kickoff show from 1-2 p.m. and the Super Bowl pregame show from 2-6:30 p.m.

Olsen has yet to announce if he will retire this offseason. The 34-year old has one year left on his contract with the Panthers and handled the team’s final regular-season game as if it were his last.

Going to lose Luke, Greg, and Cam in one one season......

Good Luck if you leave Greg. You have been a great one.

Greg retiring and cutting Poe will give us a good bit more cap space. Sad to see Greg leave though...

IF is such a big word. 

Most roads lead to retirement.   Staying makes little sense, unless he wants to milk another 10m out of us.

Throw in Smitty, and that could be your Panther Mt. Rushmore.
