Rob's House Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Rumor has it Chicago is looking to trade him and probably not looking for a king's ransom. Seems a nice opportunity to get a young star at a position of perpetual need, yet I don't hear any buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_red Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Boss as a FA or Olsen for a like 3rd round pick? I'll take Boss who is a better block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 He would be good. As I recall, there were the same rumors last year, but nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 He's an excellent receiver, but he doesn't block and that's why he's on the outs in Chi-town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 For a 5th or lower hell yes Gailey could do wonders with the kid even using him out of the slot a lot. But for a 4th or higher no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 He's an excellent receiver, but he doesn't block and that's why he's on the outs in Chi-town. And Martz is not too big on utilizing TEs in his offense. The Bears also have two other semi-veteran TEs on the roster so Olsen may indeed be expendable. I wouldn't mind getting him for a 5th or lower, if we dont go after/get Boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1B4IDie Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) GREG OLSEN FOR LEE EVANS?? This actually isn't a horrible idea and I bet we could get a 5th, 6th, or 7th back. Can you call Buddy Nix and tell him. Cutler can throw the long ball, and Lee Evans would be a nice fit for Chicago. It's one of those nice matches for both sides that will probably never happen.

MattyT Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I'm not sure which I'd enjoy more...getting an offensive weapon like Olsen, or watching Cutler cry because they traded away his best friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I would love to see the Bills get Olsen...he is talented, a good blocker, and great receiver...he is under-utilized in Martz system. That said, it seems like the Bills priorities, and what I think they should be, are rarely in synch. Who knows, we may have a very good TE on our roster already, but we never seem to be able to figure a way to work them into the offense, as a receiving weapon, because they always need to stay in pass protection. I think Nelson has shown to be a good receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 GREG OLSEN FOR LEE EVANS?? I am not on board with this idea. If we lose Evans, we are left without a veteran WR who is capable of being a #1. Easley is unproven, Stevie needs to prove that last year was not a fluke, Parrish is only a slot receiver. Getting Olsen as a midrange, flat and EZ threat is very tempting but not at the cost of losing Evans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombstone56 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 olsen comment by bears writer Chicago_bears_v_eb86 The Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday Morning that Greg Olsen’s agent Drew Rodenhaus sent an email to all of the NFL teams suggesting that the Chicago Bears are looking to move Greg Olsen. Within minutes, the email was rescinded. Attempts to reach Rodenhaus by the Tribune were unsuccessful for comment on this strange situation. All of you should know by now where I stand on Olsen. He should have been on my overrated list, but you have to be actually rated before you can be overrated. Most fans are onto how much this guy is a soft blocker, pass dropper and generally crappy football player. In order to be an elite tight end, you have to be able to at least do something. Doing nothing makes you a disgrace to the Chicago Bears. I am sure by now the other NFL teams know what brutal football player Olsen is by now as well. This does not mean that a team may not take a shot at him, but his value has plummeted. Too bad the New England Patriots pulled the second-round draft pick off the...

But I doubt we have the desire to match whatever the Giants throw at him. So why not go after a guy who's equally better thus avoiding a bidding war that could cost us heavily?

So why not go after a guy who's equally better thus avoiding a bidding war that could cost us heavily? Olsen is a FA after the yr. can will cost a lot to get him back. Boss we can save picks and lock up for 4+ yrs. Boss is a better blocker as well imo while Olsen is the better recever and I'd rather have a good blocker. So 2 picks plus big contract or a decent size contract? Edited July 28, 2011 by bills_red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
