kevincollateral Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Last night agent Drew Rosenhaus e-mailed the entire league to say the Chicago Bears are willing to trade tight end Greg Olsen.

Commander_N_Chief Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 When I heard this I was shocked. The Bears needed receiving depth to go along with Olsen, instead they let go of one of their few consistent players on O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
