“Olsen’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, sent an e-mail at 7:56 p.m. Wednesday to general managers and personnel people on all 32 teams saying Olsen would be available.”

32 teams? Why would He notify Chicago that Olsen is available?

It’s funny to hear the Haters. They all have reasons to hate the Bears. It’s cause the Bears usually kick their ass’s…..

As a Bears fan I really love all the anti-Bears posters on here. Especially since most of them cheer for teams that are so irrelevant I couldn’t even begin to care, much less hate, on anything they do.

Rosenhaus sent out an email 10 minutes ago stating that his inexplicable public behavior over the past few years is really attributable to the fact that he is a closet-case who has had a 4 year crush on Terrell Owens. 2 minutes ago he sent out an email saying, “nevermind.”

As a Pack fan…I wonder what Angelo is thinking…already dishing Aromashadu. He’s the one guy that has been able to beat the Packer D, the Lions D, and the Minny D. Sounds about right.
Now just crowd the box, shut down Forte and make Cutler beat you…..giggity goo.

Olson is not that useful but I’m not sure the Bears are going to get fair value for him. I’d want a third for him.

It’s fun watching them continually shoot themselves in the foot.

NFC Championship game is “shooting yourself in the foot?” Nice logic, Einstein.

They can do this because Kellen Davis is a better Greg Olsen than Olsen is.

Olsen’s blocking improved throughout last year, but he’s pretty much down where he catches it.

Who’s their backup again? Not a smart move imo.

Wherever Greg ends up ,it is no secret that he still has a big problem with [yards after catch] and blocking.

You gotta be kidding me. Martz will not be in Chicago next season, so you’re going to get rid of one of your best offensive players for a stubborn OC while sitting $30 million under the salary floor?

WTF Chicago?

Who will the Bears fans and media run out of town first? Martz? Angelo? Lovie? Cutler?

Then again, who cares? It’s fun watching them continually shoot themselves in the foot.

The Bears will be lucky to win 7 games this season – they will be a little less than mediocre, their normal state as long as the McClaskey family owns the team.

Packers, Lions, Bears, Vikings.

This is so typical of the Bears! Hire a dummy! like Martz & because of his obvious stupidity, trade an excellent player lile Olsen.

I would understand if they want to move him. As talented as Olsen is, a passing TE is not a fit for Martz’s offense. But … the Bears need to think more long term than that. There’s no guarantee that Martz will stick around long-term. Olsen is their best pure passing target right now. He has a strong relationship with Cutler. He offers a safety valve for a Bears offense that wants to emphasize Matt Forte first, and his ability to stretch and attack the seams creates opening on the edges for guys like Knox and Hester.

If they do move him, they really should try to at least get a 3rd or 4th in return. Even then, that really isn’t enough value, IMO, to justify such a move for them. After a season where Martz was ordered to tone down the offense to adjust to their weak OL, I’d be a bit surprised if Martz had enough juice to force this action.

Greg Olsen is one of Jay Cutler’s only weapons….
So naturally…

Miami — try the Bill Belichick approach — offer the Bears a 5th in 2012.

Olsen would be a nice fit in Miami. He would be a huge upgrade over Anthony Fasano.

Good. Punish Cutler for breaking up with Kristen Cav. What was Mr. Puffy-Face thinking?

Didn’t want him coming out of college, don’t want him now. Your baby Chicago.
