Adam Schefter reports that free agent TE Greg Olsen has wrapped up his visits and is now negotiating a contract with each of the three teams he visited with — the Bills, Redskins and Seahawks.
Both Washington and Seattle have major needs at tight end that signing Olsen would help address. While Seattle is seemingly more primed as a contender, Olsen would be able to reunite with former HC Ron Rivera in Washington.
It’s worth mentioning that signing Olsen to a contract will not factor into a team’s 2021 compensatory picks, given that he was released.
Olsen, 34, is a former first-round pick of the Bears back in 2007. He played four years for Chicago before he was traded to the Panthers in 2011.
Olsen was in the final year of a four-year, $27.75 million contract when he agreed to a two-year, $17 million extension back in 2018. He was set to make a base salary of $6.6 million for the 2020 season.
In 2019, Olsen appeared in 14 games for the Panthers and caught 52 passes for 597 yards receiving and two touchdowns.
