A report published on Wednesday morning by the New York Post stated that two major television networks are pursuing Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen for an analyst role in 2019.
But the team’s plans for the 2019 season continue to include Olsen as a key piece of the Panthers’ offense, as they have since he had surgery in December to repair his re-fractured right foot.
According to the Post, both ESPN and FOX want to bring Olsen into their broadcasting teams, which would effectively end his playing career.
Olsen, 33, became the first tight end in NFL history to record three consecutive 1,000-yards receiving seasons from 2014-16 and is a staple within the Panthers organization.
