The Carolina Panthers acquire TE Greg Olsen
The Carolina Panthers have acquired 26-year old TE Greg Olsen from the Bears for a 3rd round pick in 2012. Olsen played in 16 games (13 starts) for the Bears last year and he caught 41 passes for 404 yards (9.9 avg) with 5 TD grabs. He has now played in 62 games (39 starts) in his first four years in the NFL and he has caught 194 passes for 1,981 yards (10.2 avg) with 20 TD grabs. This was a great pickup for the Panthers as TEs are a young QBs best friend. The Panthers now have two good ones in Jeremy Shockey and Greg Olsen. They stole Olsen as they didn’t give the Bears fair value for him.
