CHARLOTTE Russell Color Rush Shepard Jersey , N.C. (AP) — — he still has football to play.The Panthers agreed to a two-year contract extension with three-time Pro Bowl tight end Olsen worth $8.5 million per season, a person familiar with the situation said ThursdayThe person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Panthers have not announced the deal. Olsen is expected to sign the deal late Thursday.Olsen stands to make up to $20 million in all if he reaches certain incentives, according to the source. He is now under contract through 2020.Olsen worked as a NFL analyst last season for one game and ESPN liked his work. He has said he would consider the profession after his career is complete.The 33-year-old Olsen became the first tight end to have three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. However, that streak ended last season when he broke a bone in his foot and missed nine games.An 11-year NFL veteran, Olsen has twice been selected second-team All-Pro.Olsen spent his first four seasons in the league with the Chicago Bears before being traded to the Panthers in 2011 for a third-round draft pick.His career flourished in Carolina, where averaged 71 receptions for 897 yards and five touchdowns over the next six years while becoming one of the team’s most popular players.Olsen, who had never missed a game during his previous 10 seasons because of injury Julius Peppers Jersey , went on injured reserve early last season with a broken foot. He was placed on short-term injured reserve and struggled getting back into form upon his return, particularly when playing on artificial surfaces.He finished the season with 17 receptions for 191 yards and one touchdown, but is still viewed as a vital piece of Carolina’s offense. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says Congress should enact uniform standards for any states that plan to legislate sports betting.Goodell detailed the league’s position in a statement Monday that reiterated the NFL’s stance that legalized sports gambling in the United States should be governed by federal law rather than state law. The Supreme Court ruled last week to strike down a 1992 law that barred most state-authorized sports gambling.In suggesting four core principles that should be maintained for any form of legalized sports betting, Goodell stressed that leagues can “protect our content and intellectual property from those who attempt to steal or misuse it.” He also said guidelines must provide substantial consumer protections; ensure fans will have access to official, reliable league data; and that law enforcement will have the resources, monitoring and enforcement tools necessary “to protect our fans and penalize bad actors here at home and abroad.”After emphasizing the importance of protecting the integrity of his sport, Goodell noted the NFL has been planning for the potential of legalized sports gambling in states other than Nevada.“(We) are prepared to address these changes in a thoughtful and comprehensive way, including substantial education and compliance trainings for our clubs DJ Moore Color Rush Jersey , players, employees and partners,” he said. “These efforts include supporting common sense legislation that protects our players, coaches and fans and maintains public confidence in our games.”The NFL has long opposed any forms of gambling on its games, though it has approved the move of the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas in 2020, and has strong ties to fantasy football, which is not tied to the Supreme Court decision.Many sports leagues have expressed concerns about the varied betting rules each state could pass, where bets could be placed James Color Rush Bradberry Jersey , and who would be overseeing them.Those leagues also believe they are entitled to an “integrity fee.” The easiest way to arrange for a cut of the proceeds would be negotiating with Congress rather than deals with individual states. If it passed a nationwide bill, Congress could require casinos, tracks or state governments to share some of their revenue with the sports leagues — or pay the integrity fees, designed to cover the costs of policing betting.——AP Writer Wayne Parry contributed.
