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.

      One of the dumbest suggestions ever

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      I don't really care as much about athleticism and arm strength.  While Murray might be better in that regard, I think Bryce has enough of both to do well in the NFL. The main reason this trade reference is silly is the money and the fact that Murray has been around a long while and hasn't proven that he can perform consistently when the game is on the line.  Bryce has shown that he can play well in the clutch (in the few opportunities he has had).

      If Bryce can continue the level of play he showed after the benching, then there's a good shot we at least compete to win the division. Tampa is a solid team but even last year in our week division they went 10-7 and will be on their 4th OC in as many years. The Saints are a mess and are in a mist of a half rebuild half still trying to compete mode and will probably be starting a rookie QB. The Falcons are a wild card as they have a really good offense but are we really crowning Michael Penix as a franchise QB after just 3 games?  The only thing I want out of this season is for Bryce to come out and without a shadow of a doubt prove he's our franchise QB. If that happens then most of the fanbase would be happy and I believe we'd be in a good place record wise at the end of the season. Maybe falling just short of winning the division with a chance to sneak in as a wild card team.
