Could Olsen’s Call for Contract Open the Door for Gary Barnidge?

Greg Olsen wants his contract restructured. It’s not a secret. He hasn’t made it a thing yet, but when asked about being the 7th overall paid tight end, he’s been honest in his belief that he deserves to be compensated based on his productivity. He’s got a point too. He’s been the league’s most consistent tight end over the past five years. He hasn’t missed a game since becoming a Panther and he is Cam’s favorite target.

At 31, Olsen knows he only has so many years left in the tank and only so much time left to get paid.
