CHARLOTTE Greedy Williams Jersey , N.C. (AP) — NFL broadcaster — 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, 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 Sione Takitaki Jersey , 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. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Von Miller has done the math and believes he has the solution.He’s gone three weeks without a sack and the Denver Broncos have gone three games without a win.“To win,” Miller said Thursday, “I’ve got to get sacks.”Although he’s being chipped or double-teamed on most plays and quarterbacks are getting their passes off lickety-split, Miller acknowledged he hasn’t beaten tackles 1-on-1 much, either.“I’ve had opportunities to rush the passer, I just haven’t been able to get home,” Miller said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s one rep to get there or two reps. That could be two sacks or forced fumbles that I’m not taking advantage of.”So Sheldrick Redwine Jersey , Miller said, beginning Sunday when the Broncos (2-3) host the Los Angeles Rams (5-0), he’s taking it upon himself to stop both quarterback Jared Goff and Denver’s skid.“I’ve just got to run over my guy, run straight through him, put him on his back and just get a sack,” Miller said.And Miller offered that he hasn’t been playing the run all that great, either, accepting the blame for Denver’s myriad woes, including allowing an eye-popping 323 yards rushing to the Jets last week.“I can fix that Austin Seibert Jersey ,” Miller said. “I like living in a world where it’s me and the problem is me and the quickest way to fix it is me.”Miller insisted he’s not shouldering too much of the blame or burden, either, for the Broncos, who have slipped to 7-14 under head coach Vance Joseph .“Too much what? I’ve got to get sacks. That’s what I do. I’ve got to get sacks,” Miller said. “I’ve gotten 87½ of them. I’ve played games where I got a lot of sacks and I’ve played games where I didn’t get any sacks. I’m going to have a little bit of both going forward.“It’s just the phase that I’m in right now, and I’ve been here before. I’ve gotten out of it before.”Miller was held without a sack for the final month of the 2016 season, which cost him in a one-vote loss to Khalil Mack for NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors a year after he was the MVP of Super Bowl 50.Miller also went without a sack in the opener last season, extending his sackless streak to a career-long five games before he corralled Dallas’ Dak Prescott twice in Week 2.Getting back on the sack track is “No. 1 on my list,” Miller insisted. “It’s the only thing I have to do on the football field. It’s something that I’m pointing the finger at myself and I’ll be able to get it fixed. I’ve just got to get it turned around quick.”Miller isn’t alone in his misery.The Broncos have managed just five sacks since dumping Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson a half dozen times in the opener last month Trysten Hill Jersey , three of them by Miller.Denver boasts an abundance of edge rushers featuring three first-round draft picks in Miller, Shane Ray and rookie Bradley Chubb.It’s a defense that’s set up for “getting sacks and getting pressures,” Miller said.“That’s how I want it to be. I don’t want to be in a defense where we’re playing zone all day and it’s about the corners. I want the defense to be about us, and it is,” Miller said. “I just haven’t been doing my job how I’m supposed to do it. And I’m on it. I’m going to get it fixed.”At age 29 and in his eighth NFL season, “I’m in my prime,” Miller noted. “I want to take advantage of all the games and all of the opportunities that are out there for me.”
