Panthers have acquired Greg Olsen!(Update For #3rd Round Pick in 2012)

Maybe they felt bad about the Harris trade and called it even.

[theyhateme45]

My reaction is tempered. Olsen is a legit threat, but he fumbles about as much as Goodson does and I wasn't aware that tight end was a concern at all anymore after Shockey and Hartsock.

Hope we didn't give away too much.

Dude, hartsock is a pure blocking TE. and Shockey is on a 1 year contract, clearly not the answer at the position for the future.

Plus depth is good.

Its official! It's on NFL Network now! They haven't said the deal tho

[OneBadassCat]

Gettis and Lafell are too important to the future of the franchise to trade like that.

Could have been Goodson which would be a bad move imo. But we are over killing TE imo.

Yea E. Brown is a good dark horse guess. But I think Rivera could probably use him.

ncguy -- post some links.

And barring what we gave up (which at best wouldn't be such a big deal) this is going to be an epic trade.

Olsen is a beast of man, plus he looks like Bart from "How High" how can you not love the guy?

Yep, Olsen will be here for a good 5 years. TE wont be a problem for awhile.

A link to back it up, but still no word on who the player is.

[Lout]

I am hearing that the Bears are trying to negotiate with WR Roy Williams now, so I am thinking more and more that we just traded E Brown. I think Gettis/LaFell are safe.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Twitter is saying the player we traded is Dan Conner.
