There have been a lot of reports about tight end Greg Olsen this offseason, from trade rumors to unhappiness about his expected role in Mike Martz’s offense.

Olsen, however, isn’t letting his supposed displeasure change his work habits. And it appears he’s backed down from wanting to be dealt elsewhere. The Bears have shown no desire to move him publicly.

The former Miami Hurricane has attended the team’s voluntary workouts for more than a week, and already has “a decent grasp on some of the new offensive philosophies Martz is expected to employ,” according to ESPNChicago’s Jeff Dickerson.

It wouldn’t shock us to hear Olsen’s name mentioned again in trade rumors again at draft time, but it sounds like he won’t be a problem for the Bears should he stick around.
