Greg Olsen: Seattle Seahawks sign former Carolina Panthers tight end on one-year deal
Thursday 20 February 2020 13:13, UK
Tight end Greg Olsen has joined the Seattle Seahawks on a one-year deal, after leaving the Carolina Panthers last month.
The 34-year-old, who reached a mutual agreement to end his nine-year stay with the Panthers on January 30, has reportedly signed a deal worth $7m, with $5.5m guaranteed.
After becoming a free agent, Olsen also reportedly visited the Washington Redskins and the Buffalo Bills.
The Seahawks struggled for strength in depth at tight end last season, with Will Dissly and Ed Dickson both struggling with injuries.
Olsen broke numerous franchise records for tight ends in Carolina, including receiving yards (6,463), receptions (524) and 100-yard receiving games (10).
