Former Panthers tight end Greg Olsen appears to have a real market for his services.
On Monday, Adam Schefter at ESPN reported Olsen will be meeting with both the Bills and the Redskins this week.
Former Panthers’ TE Greg Olsen will visit the Bills and Redskins this week, per source. Buffalo’s GM Brandon Beane used to be with Carolinas, as did Washington’s HC Ron Rivera.

Buffalo obviously has the Carolina North connection with Brandon Beane and coach Sean McDermott and Washington has Ron Rivera and a number of former Panthers assistants.
There’s at least one more interested party, though.
Today, Schefter is reporting that Olsen will also be visiting the Seahawks.
Add Seattle to the list of teams interested in former Panthers’ TE Greg Olsen, per source. Olsen will be taking a visit to Seattle.

Again, Carolina fans probably won’t be thrilled if he signs with Seattle.
However, pairing with Russell Wilson in the conference that doesn’t have Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson probably gives Olsen the best chance to win a ring. The Seahawks haven’t had much help at tight end since Jimmy Graham’s exit and Olsen could provide the answer.
While Olsen’s agent says he wants to keep playing, he will have other options. He has done excellent work as an analyst for Fox Sports, who could make him a full-time offer.
In the meantime, Olsen will be working five XFL games. Their season begins this weekend.
