For the Redskins, Greg Olsen wouldn’t have been the answer

Former Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is heading to the Pacific Northwest. Olsen is signing with the Seattle Seahawks on a one-year $7 million deal.

With Jordan Reed recovering from concussion protocol extending from the beginning of last season and Vernon Davis making golf plans for this fall in retirement, was Greg Olsen the best shot the Redskins had to fix the tight end position?

In 2019, the Redskins paid more than any team in the NFL to fill their tight end spot on the roster. But similarly to previous years, injuries completely dismantled any chance of productivity at the position.
