Panthers

Panthers veteran TE Greg Olsen tells the Charlotte Observer that he would like to know what his future is in Carolina beyond this season.

“My preference would be to know my future here in Carolina past this year, if I’m being honest. Whether or not that happens, we’ll see,” Olsen said. “But that would be the ideal situation and then that would answer a lot of these unknown questions.”

Olsen has positioned himself for a career in broadcasting and has even auditioned to be Jon Gruden’s replacement on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”

According to Olsen, he would like to remain with the Panthers beyond the 2018 season, but he’s fine no matter how things play.

“Everyone knows what we went through last year trying to get something done (contractually). We were able to kind of patchwork it,” Olsen said. “But overall I have a lot of trust in Marty and Ron. They’ve always been very fair to me.

“If this was my last year in Carolina, I’d have no ill will. They’ve been more than generous and good to me. I would prefer it to be longer. But this team is a lot more than just my situation.”
