@TomSchwarz Yes, and reason 3) He is our #1 RedZone target as far as catching the ball goes. Even with a down year in receptions he still had 5TD’s and 1TD in the Post Season. Mike Martz is going to ruin our chances of using Cutler and Peppers in another SuperBowl run!

The only reasons why I say no to trading Olsen are these 2 things…1) Martz does not stay on teams very long. He may be our OC for another year or two and than leave. And our New OC could very well make Olsen a big play maker.2) Olsen obviously hasn’t been performing much in Martz system. Which greatly lowers his value to the league. Teams won’t give much for him. At least not as much as he’s worth. So we won’t even get anything that good for him.I say keep him, sign a contract next year, and tell Martz he needs to fit his scheme to his weapons and not his weapons to his scheme.

My speculation is that Rosenhaus is a scumbag and is looking for some early leverage for contract negotiations by trying to generate some interest in Olsen.
