For a while there, there was no more consistent quarterback/tight end duo in the NFL than Cam Newton and Greg Olsen. Now that Olsen and the Panthers have agreed to part ways after nine years, some more emotional farewells are in order – just two weeks after the franchise lost All-Pro linebacker Luke Kuechly to an early retirement.
Last night, TMZ cameras spotted Newton and Olsen emerging from what they described as an emotional, boozy dinner in Miami, which included running back Christian McCaffrey and his rumored girlfriend Olivia Culpo.
Afterwards, Newton and Olsen came out and took some pictures together and spoke for a while. Watch a spirited Cam gush about Olsen’s accomplishments and say you can’t talk about the great tight ends without including him.
With Olsen out of the picture, Newton’s future seems cloudier than ever. It certainly looks like the Panthers are headed towards a total rebuild.
