Olsen is a slightly better (fitwise) version of Jimmy Graham. Has PC learned his lesson? Will Olsen be used to his strengths?

For two years now under Schotty's new offense Russell has made Dissly look like an All Pro until he got hurt, and Jacob Hollister into an actual NFL quality TE..........so yes, I think Pete learned his lesson.

I expect big things from Olsen, TE's have thrived under Schotty and Russell.

Well Schotty has no B in his last name.

Will Dissly is better than George Kittle, I was told by a regular poster on this board.

Olsen signing doesn't make sense.

:stirthepot:

Don't you think this is a little unfair? Will hasn't had the opportunity to choke in the Superbowl yet thanks to injury.

Our offense averaged 400 yards per game with Dissly and 335 yards per game without him.

For those thinking we may "move on" from Dissly, consider that his contract APY is only $777k while he had an OTC valuation of $2.4m last year despite playing in just those six games. That's a value of 3.4 to 1. Even if we knew that he would only play six games next year then his contract would still be an excellent value.

 

[Vesuve]

Nope, he is far from done and is ahead of schedule on his rehab. Take a look at Sherman with the same injury and Diss is a LOT younger. He is going to be fine.

That's an if, at this point.

Could be Injury prone. Well find out next year.

No one's thinking this. Olsen is insurance, plain and simple.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

And really good insurance. Once they release Dickson and get that cap money back, the cap hit on Olsen isn't bad at all.

WHat number is he gonna wear? He is giving 88 to Olsen for donations....

Haven't seen yet.

Dissly is a warrior.

Russ wanted Olson on board.

These days what Russ wants Russ gets which is a good thing. Russ has a great mind for the game.

We're going up-tempo in 2020. Both Dissly and Olson will play big roles in that.

I agree with all, and hoping on the tempo but we will see.

He sure seems to be an effective recruiter. I see Cam is slated to be back for NC but was apparently nudging Olsen to go Wilson's way. Wonder if there's any chance of sending Russ to charm Clowney's agent? Seems like we're set at TE, although it seems it would be pressing our luck to put them on the field two at a time...

Cool! :2thumbs:

 

[Appyhawk]

Cool move all tha way around by Diss. Proves he's paying attention and team oriented.
Gawd I miss Baldwin. One of my all time faves.

 

[Attyla the Hawk]

It's a smart signing. It doesn't have to mean anything.

But if I'm trying to read the tea leaves, it likely means they both viewed upcoming TE options as rather meh, in addition to wanting to reallocate Dickson cap room for a player that may actually play. It's a perfect hedge move -- gaining a still highly operable veteran as a street free agent at a manageable cap cost on a 1 year deal.

It's smart in many ways and doesn't necessarily have to indicate anything to be so. Even if he's a #2 or #3 tight end and nothing more, it's a smart move.

It'd be nice to have Dissly for a whole season. All in all given his injury history that may be wishful thinking, but I sure hope it is a reality as he was special when he played early last season. The addition of Olsen may take some pressure off the immediate need for an early complete recovery but the news from the team appears typically positive, and that's a good thing.

So much this... :ditto:

He's been special when on the field, and he has a connection with Russ.

 

[NINEster]

You sign one hall of famer while the other recovers, simple as that.
