If ESPN offered the job to Olsen and he accepted it, the position would start this football season. But that would complicate matters since Olsen is under contract for 2018.

A source with the Carolina Panthers told ESPN that it's the team's understanding that Olsen is exploring options for the future, not this season.

Olsen worked with the ESPN "NFL Countdown" crew before the Super Bowl in Minneapolis. He has also appeared on other ESPN shows.
