Panthers counting on Greg Olsen, but what if TV deal is irresistible?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Greg Olsen has the talent and charisma that make him one of the best tight ends in the NFL when healthy, and a natural leader for the Carolina Panthers.

Those characteristics also make him a natural for television after his playing career ends.

That’s why Olsen’s name keeps coming up since Jason Witten announced last week he was leaving his job as lead analyst on ESPN’s Monday Night Football after one season to return to Dallas to play tight end.

Call it the curse of being good, maybe even great, at multiple jobs.
