BillsMafi$ Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Greg Olsen really liked Buffalo and Washington, and strongly considered both. But the lure of playing with Russell Wilson in Seattle was just too strong. Olsen takes a 1-year, $7 million deal with the Seahawks. -Shefter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did hear Olsen was gonna announce on Friday, then “negotiating with all 3 teams” Sometimes that can mean “I’m waiting to see if you’ll match my best offer”. Course “you’re my first choice QB and I really want to play with you, Russ” sounds better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 This makes sense. It’s a good number for him and would have been a good number for the Bills. You could have cut Kroft and signed Olsen for very little difference. Oh well, would have been nice but you can’t fault the guy for that decision.

Jauronimo Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 This is a huge loss in my opinion. We needed Olsen to take the next step in 2020. We haven't had that X Factor since Percy Harvin retired or went to jail or whatever happened to him and Olsen would've fit that role perfectly for the 4 games a year hes healthy. 2 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an ignorant take. Wilson is a top 7 QB right now. Maybe top 5. Allen is getting there, but if I am a vet TE with a year left, I am going to sign with a proven SB winning QB, HC, and a good defense. Time will tell if this works out for Olsen and Seattle.

Could be the case right now, but that can change “if” Josh cleans up his game, he is our franchise QB in training at this point. It’s hard for most QBs in the league to measure up to Russel Wilson. It was said Olsen was looking for a ring, and as much as we all root for Josh I think Seattle is the better option for Olsen at present. Go Bills!!!
