For the first time since 2010, Greg Olsen will not be playing for a Ron Rivera-coached team.
Since 2011, Olsen had been the starting tight end for Rivera’s Carolina Panthers. The veteran became one of the league’s best all-around tight ends during his time with the squad and was particularly potent as a receiver.
But with Matt Rhule ushering in a new era of Panthers coaching, Olsen was released to allow the team to rebuild and Olsen to find new work. He interviewed with the Buffalo Bills, Washington Redskins, and Seattle Seahawks in free agency before ultimately settling on his new team on Tuesday.
