Olsen had 52 receptions last year and a small contract. They need a veteran. I would take a chance.

I would actually be pretty surprised if Olsen doesn't end up with us.

Olsen will retire in the off season.

Definitely a possibility too. But wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he ended up here.

We have a young roster. Having a vet TE that knows our OC AND can be a coach on the field would be a wise investment in the wisdom of age. Draft the most promising TE in the 4th or 5th round, but let Olsen be that guy Haskins knows will always be in the right place and not make stupid mistakes.

In a perfect world, yes. Once an iron man, but 2017 7 games, 2018 9 games and last year 14...35 years old start of season. We can’t keep shooting ourself in the foot.

I’d rather spend a large number on a TE in prime and aim for a prospect in the 3, 4 or 5th round. Bring in another young guy as the 3rd TE/special teamer. I just don’t think we have a luxury to take on Olsen.

Plus Olsen is calling games and in a transition role. I need someone 110% in.

Our cap should be in good shape, I would rather spend some to have a guy who can link Haskins and Turner plus a few. Heck maybe he doesnt make the final 52, but he would be a good addition especially early on in the season.

Yeah, I’m not interested in FA coming here for a 2-year paycheck at the end of their career. Don’t hire a FA over 30. Build this team to grow together with Haskins.

We absolutely need the best TE FA who is under 30. That may be Hooper, but this is the absolute #1 priority for the team. Reed and Davis are gone and their cap will fund a youth movement!!
