That's probably it for Greg Olsen

[electro's horse]

ruptured plantar fascia last night

not a career ender per se, but definitely something that's going to take a while to come back from, it's another foot injury, it's the kind of thing that's easily REinjured, and he has tons of offers waiting for him. Gotta think he voicemails from Fox studios on his phone this morning. 

So what do we do? 

Sign him for a 1 day contract to retire a panther if he wants?

Honor him before a game/at halftime?

Statue?

Ring? 

[TheCasillas]

Ring of honor and retire the jersey.

Ouch, that's unfortunate. Was it the same foot?

I prefer having our legends retire with us, so I"d love to see us offer a 1-day contract.

Sorry to hear that. Super awesome guy and a great role model.  Honor at a game for sure. But statues and rings are a bit much IMO for ANY player that didn't finish out their last years with us.

Damn another foot injury? That is probably a wrap for him unfortunately. The crazy thing is he was basically an iron man until he got the first foot injury with us, then it was just one after the other 

I wouldn't say statue but definitely ring of honor and retire as a panther. Best Panther TE.

If Walls is in the ring, the Olsen gets in

Ring of Honor without a doubt. 100% in the ROH. Retired jersey? Eh... I think that's a stretch.

Wouldn’t retire his jersey. That’s overkill. Ring of honor for sure.

[t96]

Maybe he can save ESPN’s broadcast...

[Snake]

Knowing our luck he will retire a Seahawk or Bear.

Man, he did alot for the community, a poo load. He worked with my foundation as well, so I am bias. He is just a good dude overall. His performance on the field had him as a top TE for consecutive seasons. Maybe it is overkill.

Foot injuries have a long history of taking out big men. That's a lot of stress on some really small structures. Just seems like oftentimes once that ball starts rolling there's no stopping it.

Do you realize Greg was the first TE with back to back to back 1000 yd seasons?  At minimum ring of honor.

Also remember it wasn't Greg's decision to move on.  We let him go.

And that's after we had a really good TE before him in Westley Walls.
