Tight End Greg Olsen
Olsen reportedly visited with the Seahawks this week, after making it known on Twitter that he would be interested in partnering up with Russell Wilson.
Olsen’s surprise parting of ways with Carolina opens the door for the soon-to-be 35-year-old to play for a different team for the first time since 2010.
While Olsen is clearly past his prime, and is an obvious risk given his injury history, he would still be an excellent veteran to pair with Will Dissly for the Seahawks.
Dissly has battled injuries for a rough start to his career, but when healthy the duo of him and Olsen would be among the league’s best.
Last year, Seattle turned to Jacob Hollister and Luke Willson to replace Dissly, but with both set to hit free agency it’s no secret the team could use reinforcements. Dissly, Olsen and either a late round draft pick or the re-signing of Hollister would shore up a key position – while giving the Seahawks a cerebral, veteran mentor in Olsen.
