He was on during Super Bowl week saying how he loves training(who loves that *****?) and just wants to get back into playing. I don't see it. I hear ya...he was also saying on the XFL broadcast how much he’s enjoying the job and the time he’s had coaching his kids in sports etc.

Spending quality time with your children is NEVER a poor investment and if you're a Dad by choice, it's the most incredible and rewarding time you'll ever spend. For a Pro, they have to be unparalleled in their focus and the amount of energy it takes to remain at a high level is staggering. Every time they go to practice, work out, watch film, spend time at the facility, travel, play, etc. is time they're investing in their career and I hope their life's passion. But it's also a reallocation of a finite resource: time. If he chooses to retire, good for him...seriously, I would applaud any parent, in any situation, that makes the difficult career decision against their own desires for the benefit of being present for their kids.

Yeah I think the fact that he's working in broadcasting right now and I think is getting good reviews for his work(he's been good, IMO) is likely to lean him more toward retirement. If he didn't have a job yet it might be a different story. 1

BillsMafi$ Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 I wonder if Olsen is suppose to be on an XFL broadcast this weekend or not
BillsMafi$ Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 looks like Olsen could decide tomorrow https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/amp/report_greg_olsen_could_decide_nfl_future_by_friday/s1_12680_31305065

rayray808 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 My cousin said Beane and Greg’s agent are just tying up the loose strings but it’s looking good that he is going to be a Bill next season 2

Other than that they make zeeeeeeeeeeero sense because they are bad and Olsen only has a few years left. 2? Both the Bills and Seahawks have opportunity to go pretty far in the next 2 years, the Redskins don't. At least not that I can see. 5

I’d be surprised if he picked the Redskins (unless the money is substantially higher). It feels like he is either going to a contender for a year or two or to the booth. 1

I had been thinking that the Redskins would probably be the favorites to sign him because of familiarity with Rivera and a clearer path to playing time. However, when you factor in that Olsen surely must want to spend his last year or two competing, and then you add in that the Bills have world class medical facilities and the One Bills Live thing going for them (an opportunity for Olsen to continue to develop his broadcasting skills), it makes Buffalo seem like a more realistic option....which of course means he'll likely sign with Seattle. 2

Gugny Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I wonder if teams ever negotiate a what-if scenario "handshake deal." Example: Olsen narrows it down to one team that he really likes, but doesn't want to put his body through the rigors of an entire season if it doesn't end with some postseason action. For the purposes of this entirely made up scenario, let's say he decides that IF he's going to play, he only wants to play for the Bills. Would Beane be willing (or legally able) to say, "Okay, Greg … if you promise to keep yourself in playing condition on your own time/while you're in the booth - and we end up getting to (9-3) through the first 13 weeks of the season - I'll give you a contract worth "x" amount of money to sign on for our likely playoff run."

They actually have a good roster , minus QB imo.
