Skinsinparadise Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I think you got to pay Olsen more than the vet minimum. I think he's a good player and the leadership end of it is a bonus. I do think this team could use some leader types in the locker room. And the TE position right now is arguably our weakest position or at least in the running with CB as being a big problem. https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/redskins/redskins-will-host-free-agent-tight-end-greg-olsen-visit-reports Rivera is also very focused on developing a winning culture in Washington. Olsen could help set the tone. The three-time Pro Bowl tight end also has a visit planned with the Buffalo Bills, and it's worth noting he will get significant interest from television networks as a football broadcaster. Olsen has options. Looks like the Redskins are one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I don't want us to over pay for him, considering his injury history the last three seasons. But he did play in 14 games last season and had almost 600 yards receiving (597) and two TDs. But the stat I like most is his yards per reception which was 11.5 yards. Also, he had a back-up QB throwing to him for 12 of the 14 games he played in. Week 2, with Cam playing he put up 6 receptions on 9 targets for 110 yards receiving with 18.33 yards per reception. Guy can still ball. I personally think Reed is done, if not, he should be, imo. Vernon retired. In comparison, Sprinkle was at 241 yards, 1 TD and 9.3 yards/reception. I think adding Olsen is fine as long as we either draft another TE or sign another in FA, as long as we don't over pay him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJ Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 It's interesting that Ian Rapoport is saying that Olsen will visit the Bills first and then the Skins. Maybe nothing but he does have connections with the Bills and Skins. Hopefully, Olsen honors both visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're coming off a 3-13 season and struggled on both sides of the ball. We lost all six division game and have won a grand total of 3 divisional games in the last three years. I think the potential is there and if things clicked on all cylinders then sure anything can happen. But right now outside of Terry, DH and Guice i'm not confident that anyone else from our skill positions will be anything more than JAGs. Don't get me wrong, I really really like Harmon and Sims and see good things potentially happening. Same with Love - he was a burner in college and could be a dominant factor, but until we see something then who knows? Until there's a reason to believe they're ready to compete i'm not really planning any parade routes. Every other team in our division has shown glimpses of what they're capable of... yes even the giants. I have no doubt we'll be good again, but I don't think next year is the year. Maybe I'm wrong?

COWBOY-KILLA- Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I wouldn’t give him more than 4-5 mil to finish his career out. Someone out there might offer more. I just wouldn’t spend big on him at all. I’d rather solidify the position for the next 4-5 years with Hooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeenzfan Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 None of these veteran players will be here in 2 years when the team is hopefully ready to compete for a playoff spot. Olsen already has one foot out of the door with his TV gig. Rather sign/draft younger players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 2/2/2020 at 11:06 AM, Rufus T Firefly said: Really? He didn't sign an older, retread coach and give him apparent full control over the personnel department? Because my immediate assumption when that happened is what we would get would not be the smart completion of a minor rebuild but a "win now" bid for mediocrity, of the sort that would be typified by signing Greg Olsen types and trying to get Trent Williams to stick around for the overpaid decline phase of his career. But Dan didn't know that's what he was signing up for? Fascinating. How do you live season in season out such a negative nancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Kev Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I think that signing Olsen could be a good move, if at the right price. TE was a major weakness last year and it needs to be addressed. He also already knows RRs system, so his presence in the locker room can only be a positive. As others have said, I want us to draft a mid-round rookie also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During that time, I rather see someone drafted get the snaps and claim the job. Olsen is not coming here to be backup and without reasonable snaps and game time experience we are not going to get any rookie ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchetwound Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 My ideal scenario: I would love to get him...... as our #2. Obviously he would fit in, since he knows Coach Ron. But at his age, we may not be able to count on him as our #1. But what if we can get a boneafied top tier #1, via draft, FA or trade, to go along with him? All of a sudden Haskins will have speed in Scary Terry and Simms with power mismatches in TE1 and Olsen :droolface: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I am not opposed to signing Olsen, but it should be for a role similar to what Vernon Davis's role was intended to be when he was first signed. A veteran backup with experience and leadership skills that still has some gas left in the tank to contribute, but not anchor the position.
