Greg Olsen or no?

[Cardsfaninlouky]

Not that we need a bunch of TE's considering we have Maxx Williams signed for next season & more than likely will resign Dan Arnold (he may have another yr left on his contract?) Arnold is more of a hybrid TE/WR, our coaches say he can block also. I doubt Clay will be brought back. So do we draft another one or try & sign Greg Olsen on one of those SK veteran/cheap deals? Is he too old? Does he still get separation? What does everyone think? I do like Charles Clay, he blocks & doesn't drop passes. I'm sure we could find one in the draft but Greg Olsen is experienced & a former pro bowler.

I was thinking the same. None of the TEs we have are mainstream receivers. Arnold is a RZ threat. Williams is more a blocker.

On the right deal for a year Olsen would be a great receiving option as part of a rotation. I think he would be a great scheme fit.

Olson will go to NE. He’s leaving because he wants to get a ring before he retires.

 

[Garthshort]

Olson won't get a ring in NE. That window has closed. JMO.

 

[slanidrac16]

No. He has missed a lot of games and I’d rather draft a young body. Money is tight as it is. Next year at this time it might be a different story.

 

[Adrian]

No. Injured too often.

To be fair he gets injured a lot because they ride him hard.

When Olsen is fit he averages about 94% of offensive snaps. If you compare that to someone like Austin Hooper who played 65%.

If we brought him in it would be to play more like 60% of snaps in a rotation. Maybe even less. Which should help keep him healthy.

 

[GuernseyCard]

Olsen is headed to the broadcast booth... IMO.

Okay. I still say no.

 

[jmt]

I don’t want Olson.

 

[gimpy]

I get tired of Arizona teams bringing in older players on the downhill side of their careers for a whole lot of money.

 

[Krangodnzr]

No, no, no, no, no....NO

I'm happy to go with Arnold maxx Williams and a late draft pick

Arnold and maxx Williams is a complementary duo, offering different skillset

Landing spots for Olsen IMHO

1. New England
2. L A Rams
3. Minnesota Vikings
4. Seattle Seahawks
5. Green Bay

I would take Minnesota and Green Bay off that list.

Minnesota just drafted Kyle Rudolph's replacement.

Jimmy Graham is not going anywhere until 2021.

 

[jmt]

I don’t want Jimmy Graham either.

Green Bay can save 8m in cap for only 3.6m dead cap by cutting Graham. Dude is toast.

Cards are in the wrong place of their development

Olsen is a player you add when you think you need a vet here or there to make you dangerous in the playoffs

Damn good at it too IMO.

I was actually thinking Olsen is exactly the kind of reliable receiving option Kyler needs to help his development. Something we don't have with current TEs.

Olsen gives you exactly what people wanted Hooper for for less money and a shorter term.

 

[ajcardfan]

Um.... no. No players like Suggs this offseason. Meaning, one more big paycheck for before calling it quits.

I nominated those teams based on their closeness to and desire to be in contention for a S B and I also believe Olsen has the same interest in a ring.

Graham is worn out and their WRs flat ass blow in Green Bay. Have to believe Olsen would be worth 60 receptions easily for Aaron. Olsen might need the vikings more than the Vikings need him, but I believe it is a possibility.

Pats miss Gronk in a huge way and Olsen could be a part of Brady's swan song season. Rams will do everything to bring that offense back.

Seattle has Wilson and a bunch of mediocrity.

Olsen has a few good years left and I see no good reason why he would sign with Cards.

We aren't there yet and if we sign a TE in FA we need one that stays for another 3-4 years, Olsen might have another 2 in the tank, but I'm not sold yet. He might sign with one of the mentioned teams that have a good chance to go to the playoffs. From there anything can happen.

So basically Arizona will not be on that list, or hopefully is not on his list.

He wants to go to the Skins. Davis retired and Reed will be cut so makes sense.

Watch Keim sign Reed. He loves a guy with an injury history.

 

[Shane]

Hell no! Pretty much everybody in here ******* about signing old aging veterans especially with injury history… And Now we recommend and Greg Olsen? ****
