Do you think his health will be known before he plays in a live game? I don’t think so. And he’ll either be long gone by then or decided to be kept.

Not completely, at least irt his arm.  The foot injury should be known though.

Yeah I’m not even worried much about the foot. Just the arm that he hasn’t shown adequate strength or ability to throw accurately with for several years now. He needs to prove he can do that over several games. I much prefer we keep him this year to find out but based on all the reports that Cam won’t play without an extension, we probably won’t be able to do that. We’ll have to commit or trade him, before the draft most likely.

If that’s the case then we definitely just straight up cut him but we’re respectful to him to the outside world.

It is what it is, Olsen wasn't in the Panthers future plans and Greg didn't want to be part of a ground up rebuild project here in Carolina.

Both parties got what they wanted without disrespecting one another.

Best of all possible outcomes.

Another quitter. I’m starting to see a pattern among this teams “leaders” guess they really needed a culture change after all

This is kinda BS. I get he wants to play for a contender but he signed the contract and now we pay the cost. 

or the redskins so he can coast with ron to some easy paychecks with haskins at qb.  someone must have told greg he wasn't going to be allowed to earfug marty into more $.   fug greg.  he's not a panther anymore.

alright, look.

I'm not a huge fan of so much change so quickly either, but there's no damn reason to think of him like that.  Much like Cam, his body started betraying him sooner than he wanted to, and all it really ultimately is is a damn shame.

Olsen was a great TE for the Panthers and responsible for much of the team's success during this last decade.

However, his return on investment has been pretty poor these last few years.

Injured more often than not and carrying a hefty price tag to boot.

Panthers will never achieve Tepper's goal (fans goal too) of becoming a consistently competitive football team until management learns to cut ties with players BEFORE they hit the skids.

I wish Greg nothing but the best in his future endeavors.
