Panthers Revamp Tight End Strategy: Olsen's Insights and Smith's Potential Fit

The Panthers have struggled to find consistent production from their tight ends since Olsen's departure. Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and Mitchell Evans have shown flashes, but none have emerged as a dominant force. Olsen's comments highlight the need for a tight end who can consistently create mismatches and take pressure off the wide receivers. Jonnu Smith, despite a less productive season with the Steelers, has the potential to be that player. His versatility allows him to line up in multiple positions, making him a valuable asset in the passing game. His past success with the Dolphins indicates that he can thrive in the right system. If the Panthers can acquire Smith, it would provide Bryce Young with a reliable target who can contribute both as a receiver and a blocker. This would not only improve the Panthers' offense but also help Young develop into a more complete quarterback.

They haven't had a tight end reach 500 receiving yards since 2019, and are looking for a more dynamic presence to complement their receiving corps.

He views them as a solid, young group but believes they need a 'game-changer' to complete the offense.

His versatility and ability to create schematic advantages make him a potential reliable target for Bryce Young.
