The Chicago Bears have traded TE Greg Olsen to the Carolina Panthers. The Bears in return will be receiving a player and a draft pick. It is not known at this time who the player is or what round draft pick they are receiving.
↵This trade doesn’t come as a huge surprise since it was announced yesterday that the Bears might be looking at trading the tight end.
↵The 2007 First-Round Pick didn’t really fit in Mike Martz’s offense. Last season Olsen caught 41 passes for just 404 yards.
↵The Bears are also set to release tight end Brandon Manumaleuna after just one season. To replace Manumaleuna, the Bears are set to sign blocking tight end Matt Spaeth.
