The off-season of change continues for the Carolina Panthers.
It was a forgone conclusion that Greg Olsen had played his last game in Carolina Blue when the Panthers lost to the Saints in their season finale. Players spoke of his influence on them, his play on the field and his impact on the community; with an assumed transition to the broadcast booth being the natural next step.
Thursday night only one of these are certain with Olsen announcing that he will not return to the Panthers next season, but not ruling out a return to the field.
