Did greg olsen retire 2019?

Greg Olsen, one of the most prolific tight ends in NFL history, has announced his retirement from football. Olsen, who played for the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears, finishes his career with over 8,000 receiving yards and 60 touchdowns. A three-time Pro Bowler, Olsen was one of the most consistent tight ends in the league during his playing career. He was a key part of the Panthers’ offense during their run to the Super Bowl in 2015, and his production didn’t drop off even as he entered his thirties. Olsen retires as the Panthers’ all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards by a tight end, and he’s fourth in franchise history in touchdown catches. He’s also one of only six tight ends in NFL history with three seasons of at least 1,000 receiving yards. While Olsen’s on-field production will be missed, he’ll also be remembered for his work off the field. He was a vocal advocate for player safety, particularly when it came to concussions, and he also started his own foundation to help families dealing with congenital heart defects. Olsen’s retirement leaves a big void in the Panthers’ offense, but they do have a talented young tight end in Ian Thomas who should be able to step into a larger role. As for Olsen, he’ll no doubt be busy with his foundation and other business ventures, but Panthers fans will always appreciate what he did for the team during his time in Carolina.
