‘Olsen, 34, joined the Panthers as a first-round draft pick from the University of Miami in 2007. He became the first tight end in NFL history with three consecutive seasons with 1,000 receiving yards. For his career, he has 718 receptions for 8,444 yards and 59 touchdowns.’

10 impending free agents from Super Bowl teams Bills might consider
’49ers WR Emmanuel Sanders: It’s well-known the Bills will be in the market for a wide receiver (or two). Sanders joined the 49ers in a midseason trade with the Denver Broncos and was highly productive, making 36 catches for 502 yards and three touchdowns in nine games with San Francisco. He had three catches for 38 yards against the Chiefs. Sanders turns 33 next month, so he would be a shorter-term addition.’
Should the Bills try to sign free agent TE Greg Olsen? Absolutely
‘More important than Olsen’s production, though, would be what he would bring in experience to the tight end room, giving Knox and Sweeney a true receiving tight end who they can learn from. Could there be a better mentor out there?’
Goodell softens push for new Bills stadium
‘The reality is, though, Orchard Park is an ideal compromise location from all directions. To be sure, road access directly around the stadium can occasionally be problematic on game day, but the Thruway and Route 219 get fans reasonably close and tailgating is helpful in that it extends arrival time. Rarely is there a monster traffic jam.’
Josh Allen to lead Buffalo Bills to Super Bowl LV? One ESPN Insider NFL expert has team in big game
‘As Fowler mentioned, the Bills are not currently Super Bowl ready, but they may not be too far off. One year after going 10-6, Buffalo has close to $90 million in cap space as well as nine picks in the 2020 NFL Draft. If the team can add a legitimate pass rusher on defense and continue to add weapons around Josh Allen, the Bills could make some serious noise in the AFC.’
Former Panthers TE Greg Olsen set to visit Buffalo Bills this week (report)
‘Olsen has ties to both franchises. He spent all of his years in Carolina under head coach Ron Rivera and the new Redskins head man is going to need a veteran presence in the locker room like Olsen. In Buffalo both coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane spent a number of years in Carolina and are familiar with Olsen, who McDermott said is the type of player that a coaching staff can trust.’
5 reasons why Greg Olsen and Buffalo Bills are a fit
‘It’s no coincidence that Buffalo was one of the healthiest teams in the league last season. The Bills’ facility could be a major selling point to a veteran looking to stay on the field at the end of his career.’
Super Bowl Star Sammy Watkins Is A Reminder Of What The Buffalo Bills Once Had And Gave Up
‘But Buffalo got impatient with Watkins’ injuries and his admitted lack of maturity at the time. Watkins made mistakes too. He lashed out at fans and criticized his own team for not getting him the ball enough. He was called a bust and Watkins started to get down on himself.’
Report: Tight End Greg Olsen to visit Bills
‘But Olsen has had his injury concerns, as well. The soon-to-be 35 year old has missed 18 games over the last three seasons due to foot injuries. Over the last four seasons, the two have played the exact same amount of games. Olsen has been far more productive.’
State of the Bills: Defensive end
‘Overall, there are a lot of financial decisions to be made on players already on the roster, like Murphy, on what to do with Lawson, and whether or not to pursue a big-ticket free agent. Defensive end could also be the spot the team focuses in on with their first round pick come April. I think Hughes being on the roster in 2020 is almost a certainty, but nothing else is beyond that. They could go into training camp with many of the same names already listed above, or could have a complete overhaul.’
Report: Bills to host TE Greg Olsen
‘Olsen is very familiar with Bills head coach Sean McDermott and General Manager Brandon Beane, playing under them while they were with the Carolina organization. Olsen would provide veteran leadership and could be of use to help develop rookie tight ends Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney.’
Bills Today | This ESPN analyst is picking Buffalo for the 2020 Super Bowl
‘Jeremy Fowler, national NFL writer: Seahawks over Bills. Both teams are a few pieces away. Seattle will pick up another stretch-the-field receiver, get faster on defense and let Russel Wilson do the rest off play-action. I like everything about the Bills’ rebuild, and if Josh Allen makes a sizable Year 3 leap, there’s little reason why they can’t push through the AFC seeding with that defense and running game.’
