Redskins should consider signing former Panthers TE Greg Olsen

The Washington Redskins tight end situation collapsed in 2019, when Jordan Reed ended up missing a full year due to a lingering concussion, and Vernon Davis began to succumb to age. Now, in 2020, the only sure constant of the group is Jeremy Sprinkle, and he’s nothing more than depth.

Tight end is still an undervalued position across most of the league, but it’s an important offensive juncture for the Redskins, who need more versatile talent, as well as a tight end who can serve as a safety blanket for second-year quarterback Dwayne Haskins.

With the news that veteran tight end Greg Olsen has left the Carolina Panthers, the Redskins should be quick to inquire about his services.
