CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Greg Olsen really didn’t need a reminder on Wednesday that after an offseason in which the Carolina Panthers worked to make the roster younger, he’s now the organization’s oldest player.
“Thank you," the 34-year-old Pro Bowl tight end said following Carolina’s second day of organized team activities. “Appreciate you pointing that out. ... Tricked them for another year to stick around.
“Not long ago, I was one of the young guys looking at the old guys and thinking, 'I can’t believe how old they are.'"
Not long ago, Olsen also was considered one of the best tight ends in the NFL, up there with New England’s Rob Gronkowski and Kansas City’s Travis Kelce.
