CHARLOTTE – Tight end Greg Olsen has signed a two-year contract extension with the Panthers that runs through the 2020 season.
Olsen, the only tight end in NFL history to post three consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons, was entering the final year of a three-year extension he signed in 2015.
“I've made it clear over the past year that I want to keep playing and I want to play here,” Olsen said Thursday. “Both sides were very fair and worked on it in a timely manner. I feel really good about what we were able to get done both for ourselves and the team.
