Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

Should the Saints reach out to him?

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

He has been offered a job from FOX. That's why he retired. If the Saints wanted to reach out to him it would be to congratulate him on his new network job.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

No, Hunter Henry from the Saints Farm System Chargers.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

He available?

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

Yes, but he has stated his desire to remain with the Chargers. He'll be looking for a "pay me now" type of first contract renewal. He has also been injured for most of his career.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

Seems we get TE's that do not have enough experience to catch a pass or TE's that caught the first pass thrown by Pontius Pilate.

How about a TE somewhere in the middle?

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

Olsen and his agent both said he'll be looking for a team after Sunday. He hasn't retired, and the "mutual" separation makes sense since he is not worth a $12,000,000 cap hit.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

Hell yeah! I'd sign him in a heart beat. That would give us two really good TE's for Drew to use shorter passes across the middle. Cook and Olsen would be some serious s***!

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

Retired? He didn't retire, and has stated he still wants to play. He can take a job with Fox any time. You're only young enough to play once.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

Greg still has interest in playing. He never retired.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

I love this guy. Would love to see him finish up here.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

I reckon we go for Howard or even Brate. I have liked Cook this year though.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

10 years ago I would have been very excited about the prospect but now? I'm not really sure how much he has left.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

Well lets just pick up Olsen, Rivera, and Newton since most fans don't like Payton or Brees anyway.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

Olsen will apparently be calling XFL games for FOX and is working for FOX during Super Bowl week.

Pontius Pilate, I remember him! Played in the Colosseum vs The Soon To Be Saints!!!

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

Injuries have plagued him the last few years.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

I wasnt aware him and Brees would be reunited in the booth..

Greg Olsen to wrap up free-agent visits this week.

Greg Olsen's free-agent tour is wrapping up its final leg.

The veteran tight end's series of visits -- which included a stop in a FOX broadcast booth as part of XFL coverage Sunday -- continues Monday with a visit with the Redskins, and will then include a cross-country flight to Seattle to meet with the Seahawks, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed of Olsen's plans. By the end of this week, Olsen expects to have arrived at a decision, Rapoport added.

Olsen's time with the Panthers came to an end in late January via a mutual parting of ways after nine seasons in Carolina. Originally a draft selection of the Bears out of Miami (Fla.), Olsen has caught 718 passes for 8,444 yards and 59 touchdowns in 13 professional seasons.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

I was high on him coming out of college & was hoping that would be our pick.

We ended up taking a WR (Bobby M) in the 1st.

Greg Olsen joins Seahawks on $7 million deal, giving Russell Wilson new offensive weapon.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

More than I thought he'd get. Figured it would be 5 plus a ton of incentives.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

Good.

Re: Greg Olsen, Panthers parting ways
 

Hopefully he'll have the same impact Jimmy Graham had for them!!!
