Looks like G-Reg has quietly requested Drew Rosenhaus to find a trade for him out of Chicago:

I've been an Olsen guy from the day he was drafted, but I'm resigned to the fact that he's a big freakin' pussy. Instead of competing, he'd rather be traded. Good riddance. Mac was right....he doesn't like contact.

Yeah it will be nice seeing him become a pro-bowler with New England.

He doesn't think he can learn to block!

Honestly I didn't think the Bears could look any worse. I really thought the bottom was when they couldn't find coordinators and somehow they keep falling. They've had no options or look goofy in all their decisions. This is going to be horrible, personnel is going to be fucked up. The McCaskeys need to fire everybody now.

I can smell his pussy all the way out here...

yes and yes - this is another case of the Bears not being able to develop their own talent that they supposedly scouted thoroughly and then drafted and wasted money and time on. What in blue fuck is going on?? This guy IS going to go to a team that uses him the right way, and then he's gonna make the Bears look bad. Trying to make him a TE when he is a receiver of some sort, that's the Bears all day...

Desperate men make desperate short term decisions and that's exactly what we are seeing right now. From the hiring of Martz and Marinelli as coordinators, to trading Olsen for 50 cents on a dollar, to letting Bobby DePaul be the fall guy for Jerry Angelo's and Greg Gabriel's failings to making some imminent bad moves in free agency in order to prop up a 2003 era defensive scheme ... this regime is making bad decisions followed by bad decisions and they are going unchecked by the absentee owners of this franchise.

I live in fear that we will trade next year's Number One for a Cover 2 corner.

Maybe they'll surprise me in free agency, but I don't see it.

BTW, as a pure H Back - ala Dustin Keller in NY or Dallas Clark in Indy, Olsen will be 80+ catch/10 TD TE.

Exactly - the Bears called him a "hybrid" when they drafted him, and then did nothing to utilize him in that manner.

Olsen can't block, which is the TEs job in Martz's system. Olsen knows he won't be used here and his contract will expire in the lock out year I think. If he can get paid now he should do it. He gets the droppsies and he gets taken down pretty easily. With the right coaching I think he can be good because he does have some talent. They should get at least a 2nd for him.

What I don't like is them rearranging everything willy nilly and making moves based on one year.

I don't like them trading pieces that Cowher and Tom Clements will need next year.

What would be a good trade value for Olsen? 2nd pick would be good and if they can get a late rnd too I'd be happy. I don't know how good Olsen will be after another 2 years.

That second statement is jolting.

My guess would be a 3rd round pick, but a team like the Patriots with 3 2nd round picks, could overpay for Olsen.

Olsen makes the Pro Bowl as a pure H with Tom Brady.

+1

I definitely agree with some critiques about him being soft etc, but you can't argue about his hands and combo of size/speed. I'm worried that his shortcomings are a larger reflection of our offensive staffs inability to maximize his skills rather than his deficiencies as a pass catching tight end.

If he was unhappy don't you think we'd have heard it?

If NE will give a second I'd take it. If he goes on to produce that's fine. There is no evidence that would happen here. It should have happened already.

you can't trade G. Reg and his 3rd leg

That's my purse! I don't know you!

If they are as close as the media portrays, I'm sure Cutler alreadys knows about this. I'm sure he's also heard (or now knows from studying the Martz system) how the TE functions in that offense.

Given that he can't really block or perform the actions of a tight end besides catching passes I'd have no problem trading him for picks of value.

He looks like a good TE when you look at his receiving numbers but that's because he's used differently than most TE's. If he was judged as a WR, which he basically is, he'd be pretty expendable.

Tom Brady could make him really good but Tom Brady makes just about anyone really good.

im also in the camp that thinks the bears have completely misused him. im not saying hes a top 5 TE in the nfl...atleast not with the bears. but i think he has the potential to be. giving him and cutler another year would be good for them. and really what else do the bears have? no receivers and im not too jazzed on the other TEs the bears have right now taking his place. but hey lets trade away an offensive piece to an already fucking inept offense

Okay, how many times do we need to present this scenario to the braintrust at Halas Hall? They have misused him when they knew what they had in him from day one - or, what they thought they had in him when he was evaluated prior to drafting him - do you think that they would miraculously be shown the light by an OC that has failed in his NFL position more times than he has been successful?

What a clusterfuck. This is just further proof that the McCaskey family should have fired Lovie & ate his $11 million contract, blown this entire regime up & hired Bill Cowher. The moves the Bears make in this fucked up lame duck year will have a negative effect on the Bears next year. What a mess.
How in the world can the McCaskeys be so inept at managing their family business? The worst thing an ailing organization can do is continue on the same path & NOT make the changes necessary to get the business back on track.
Someone needs to show some leadership & fix this organization.
