Greg Olsen interested in playing for Ron Rivera in Washington...

So much for him playing for a ring is he does go to the Skins. I would hate to see third leg Greg go to another rebuilding team.

REPORT: Greg Olsen interested in Playing for Ron Rivera in Washington

Greg Olsen will not return to Carolina, he and the team agreed last week, but he may return to playing for Ron Rivera.

Olsen would consider signing with Washington to reunite with Rivera, the Washington Post reports.

The Panthers hired Rivera as their head coach in 2011, and they traded for Olsen later that offseason. Olsen played for Rivera in Carolina until the Panthers fired Rivera last season. It would make sense for the two of them to reunite, Rivera because he would like a strong veteran presence on his team, and Olsen because he would like to play for a coach he knows and is comfortable with.

However, Olsen turns 35 next month, and if he’s in a hurry to play for a winner, he may question whether Washington is the place to go. He also is sure to have job offers if he decides to work in television rather than play another season.

Unless they gave him 5 to 6 mil a year, he ain't going there. He probably will play for the Steelers, patriots or GB just for a chance at a ring. 

Same thing was said about Kalil if he came out of retirement and he went money hunting with the Jets.

Ehh... hang on a second, if you dig into that article you find that the only actual quote they cite by Olsen is this:

“At this time I have not closed the door on any potential career options,” Olsen said. “I still have the love of football in my heart and will explore all opportunities presented to me.”

That's in a Washington Post article, whose hometown team is the Redskins. I think what they are basically doing is taking Olsen's statement that he'll consider all opportunities and spinning it to say Look, he could come here to play for his old coach! Probably for clickbate reasons would be my guess. 

Until Olsen actually says something specific with regards to the Redskins, I'd take that with a huge grain of salt.

Yeah, this was really lazy of PFT. I doubt they even read the article before they ran with this "report". Just a local paper speculating that Olsen giving Rivera shout out in his statement and saying that he'll explore opportunities = Olsen is open to playing for the Redskins.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
