Targeting TE Gren Olsen
The Bills lost the coveted Greg Olsen sweepstakes. The 13-year veteran signed with the Seahawks recently, after having also visited the Redskins and Bills. Beane didn’t say he regretted going after the tight end, who he spent time with in Carolina before joining Buffalo, at all. Rather, Beane said going after Olsen is like an example of the ol’ “due diligence” that Bills often tout.
“(Olsen has) put up some great numbers in this league. Any time there’s a guy like that, you’re going to check it out. I’m always going to be looking from the draft, free agency, salary cap cuts, somebody thinks this guy is too old but maybe I don’t, whatever the case may be, I’m going to take a look,” Beane said.
After signing with the Seahawks, Olsen said one of the reasons he joined them over the likes of the Bills and other was because of how good quarterback Russell Wilson is. Beane will hope his QB, Josh Allen, will one day grow into sure a talent that can bring in talent.
