thebandit27 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Didn’t Ben Albright tell us it was down to Washington and Seattle?
rayray808 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 If Olsen was that good, he would still be a Panther
Buddo Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 TBH, I think the contract would have been around the same wherever he chose to go. His production warrants it. I also think he could have been a significant upgrade for us, even before we have FA and the draft. While I believe he would have done well here, I can't say that I blame him for choosing Seattle. Ultimately he's going to a team that has a QB who already has a ring, and is a consistent performer at a high level, rather than to a team that is on the rise, but may still need another year developing, to get over the hump, and win a playoff game, with a young QB who hasn't shown quite enough consistency yet.

Nothing against Olsen either. Now the Bills need to pursue one of the younger and more capable TEs Please Maybe that is where they spend, and surprise us.

Sherlock Holmes Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Hunter Henry and Hooper are better options at this point anyways 2

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!!! simple math really #Ringworthey @GOLSEN
CEN-CAL17 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Just a little taste of Free Agency.... probably asked $12M 9 guaranteed from Buffalo

Considering Graham and Kelce make 10 and 9 mil respectively, 7 is way too much for Olsen. Hooper is ready to reset the market at probably 11.5. Go after the young stud instead. 1
3rdand12 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I see some here a bit hurt by his choice of sweetheart. lol. would have picked Seattle as well. free pot i think or something there Just now, billsbackto81 said: I'm sure that's more than Beane was thinking.

Russell Wilson has made that dude. He’s never had to truly start from nothing. We are also talking about the coach that failed to give the ball to Lynch from the 1 yard line losing the Super Bowl. Pete Carroll is a good coach at best, but so is McD! 2
GoBills! Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Hunter Henry is the one I’d chase after. Give him a 3-4 year deal.
QCity Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Bullet dodged. Not much value in giving a young QB a 35yr-old band-aid that's going to struggle to stay on the field. Fix the position correctly. 3
4merper4mer Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 The main downside of Seattle signing Olsen is that the legend of Austin Hooper is going to spin out of control for a month. If I never read that bag of hype's name on here again it'll be too soon. 2 2
billsfan89 Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Pass, I like Olsen but only on a 3-4 million dollar price for a small portion guaranteed. He got Seattle to pay him up more and good for him but he was priced out of this team. I think there are other vet TE's out on the market that could be had at a better price.

Just hope we can add another tight end that is better than Dawson Knox I was hoping that they could sign Olsen for a year’s good play and mentorship, but I am not down on Knox and Sweeney - I think both showed promise- especially Knox. I think he will address the drops which I think (Hope?) were mostly due to being too anxious to start running before securing the catch. I really think Knox has very good size and speed and we also saw some “want to” on some plays.
