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.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
