Securing Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen through the 2020 season with a two-year extension does not mean the Panthers won't take a tight end with the 24th pick in tonight's NFL draft. As I was told by a source, "nothing is off the table.'' The Panthers still need a backup tight end that can catch as insurance in case Olsen gets hurt as he did last year They run a lot of two tight-end sets as well.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Panthers' TE Greg Olsen is signing a two-year extension today worth $8.55M per year with a max value of up to $10.05M per year, per source. I also confirmed the deal is worth $17.1 million over two years, per source. Olsen has been seeking extension and security.

RB Paul Perkins not participating in Giants minicamp because of a pectoral injury. It occurred before the offseason program and he had a procedure. The Giants are short on running backs right now. Hmmmmmm.

The Bucs have agreed to a one-year deal with running back Charles Sims, as first reported by the Tampa Bay Times. They have also looked at a number of running backs in the draft. This gives some insurance, especially without a third-round pick.

Could be, as usual, quite frenetic tonight. Teams open to moving back in first round include the Ravens, Seahawks, Lions, Titans.
Jets daily draft nugget: Finally, it's draft day! They have six picks, but they're hoping to acquire more through trades. The six: Round 1 (3 overall), Round 3 (72), Round 4 (103), Round 5 (148), Round 6 (165) and Round 7 (209). They like the running-back depth and could go for a back in the third round. Defensive end and cornerback also are big needs. Player to watch: Troubled WR Antonio Callaway, who has a list of off-the-field issues. The Jets had him in for a top-30 visit. He'd be a highly controversial selection.
