Russell Wilson appears to be recruiting TE Greg Olsen to Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson appears to be recruiting tight end Greg Olsen to the team after his release from Carolina.

The Seattle Seahawks are a potential landing spot for tight end Greg Olsen after his release from the Carolina Panthers, and quarterback Russell Wilson is apparently on board about bringing the 13-year veteran to the Emerald City.

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton whispered something in Wilson’s ear at the 2020 NFL Honors. As expected, speculation arose on Twitter about what Newton could possibly be saying to Wilson. Olsen took the time to give an extremely interesting response via his own Twitter account.

Wilson then responded to Olsen’s tweet with a comment and an image of the two together.

The Seahawks could certainly use more assistance at the tight end position with Will Dissly’s durability issues and the uncertainty regarding the rest of the unit. Olsen has suffered brutal foot injuries over the years and is approaching 35 years of age, but may still be capable of contributing for a team with Super Bowl ambitions such as the Seahawks.

It is not a given that Olsen will be on his way to Seattle, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that he will visit the Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins first.

However, this is a compelling situation for 12s to keep an eye on as free agency rolls around.

Comedian implores 49ers CB Richard Sherman to return to Seahawks

During Super Bowl LIV interviews, comedian Craig Gass took the time to beg 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman to rejoin the Seattle Seahawks.

During Super Bowl LIV interviews, comedian Craig Gass took the time to beg former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman to leave the San Francisco 49ers and return to the Emerald City.

“I know I messed up. I still care about you,” he told Sherman. “I know I made some mistakes. And if you just give me a chance, you think about coming back, I promise, I’ll treat you right.”

Sherman was one of the most beloved players during the Seahawks’ run throughout the early 2010s, so it would make sense to feel discontent at the mere concept of former fan favorites succeeding with another team, let alone a division rival.

Sherman responded to the apparent Seahawks fan’s plea by saying he appreciated the gesture but loves his current situation in the Bay Area.

“I really appreciate that and I’m so thankful,” Sherman said. “It had its ups and its downs, but right now the relationship I’m in I’m so happy. I’m so thankful for the people I have with me. They came to me in a time when I was really down and out, and they didn’t give up on me. There’s something about that you can just appreciate genuinely.”

Scores of 12s miss Sherman for his stellar play and personality, but his focus is on winning another Super Bowl championship while he still has the opportunity. Super Bowl LIV will kick off on Sunday, Feb. 2 at 3:30 p.m. PT.
