Report: Greg Olsen signs two-year extension with Panthers

Greg Olsen

Greg Olsen has been openly seeking a new contract since last offseason, and the star tight end has finally come to an agreement with the Carolina Panthers.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Olsen has signed a two-year extension with the Panthers that has the potential to make him the highest-paid tight end in football.

Olsen has been Cam Newton’s favorite target over the years, and he eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark in back-to-back seasons in 2015 and 2016. He missed several games last season with a foot injury but proved he is still capable of producing with a nine-catch, 116-yard game against the Green Bay Packers in December.

With Olsen having gotten a new deal from the Panthers, you have to wonder how that will affect the contract situation of another star tight end who wants more money.
