Greg Olsen Scheduled To Visit With Bills & Redskins

Adam Schefter is reporting that free agent TE Greg Olsen is scheduled to visit with the Bills and Redskins this week. 

A report from last week mentioned that Olsen is open to playing for the Redskins, so this doesn’t come as a big surprise. 

Olsen has tied to both teams as Bills GM Brandon Beane and new Redskins HC Ron Rivera both worked with him while in Carolina.

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 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.
