If he stays healthy, their is absolutely no doubt Olsen is a top 10 TE this year. that’s a bold prediction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBeaneBandit Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 4 hours ago, NewEra said: I see our tight end group as such- Knox- solid prospect that could become a pro bowler is he improves his hands. Sweeney- solid option as a number 3. Has shown he can make plays and has upside as a good number 2. no one else matters. If we’re looking to win a super bowl we should absolutely be adding an upgrade at TE this offseason. Olsen is almost worst case scenario imo. We have lots of cash and there are TEs available Perfectly said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'd be a really valuable addition to the room for a year just like Frank Gore to the RB room this past year. Even if just for the off-field stuff, where he can impart some wisdom on how to take care of your body to last as long as possible in the league, what his routines and fun study habits are, etc. Stuff like that would be way more valuable to Knox and Sweeney from someone like Olsen than a plugger like Lee Smith IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPP Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 If hopefully he remains healthy for at least most of the season I think he will put in that extra effort on the field for McD.......why not the guy is night/day to the TE we have now.....at minimum why is Lee Smith taking up a spot??

BillsFan17 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 The same people saying they dont want Olsen, will be the same ones complaining when hes producing with another team.

People who think this is any sort of bidding war obviously haven’t been paying attention to how he has operated for the last 3 years. there’s literally nothing bad about this move when done at a reasonable price. Which is exactly the only way Beane lets it happen. Also where he Olsen said he was seriously considering retiring. I’ve only heard it here on this board with no sources. He actions say something entirely different. He had 3 visit to PLAY FOOTBALL lined up immediately Edited February 16, 2020 by Stank_Nasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I am fine with the TE room as it stands........... minus Lee Smith. Lee Smith is useless. Tyler Kroft came off as useless in 2019, but if the Bills fail to sign Olsen I really think they will role with the same 4 TE's 2020 that they had 2019. McBeane might give Kroft 2020 to see if he is actually useful if the Olsen signing fails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed lol. Could be wearing a ring if that happens! We should absolutely sign him. We have boatloads of cash that we won’t be spending to cap.
