Former Carolina tight end Greg Olsen will visit the Seahawks as he searches for a new home

Tight end Greg Olsen, a 13-year NFL veteran, will visit the Seahawks as he searches for a new home after being released by the Carolina Panthers Monday, a league source confirmed to The Seattle Times.

The news was first reported by ESPN and the NFL Network.

Olsen will also visit Washington and the Buffalo Bills. Because Olsen was released, he can sign with teams immediately. Players whose 2019 contracts run out and become unrestricted free agents can sign with new teams beginning March 18.

Olsen spent the last nine years with the Panthers before being released in a cost-cutting move by a Carolina team starting over under new coach Matt Rhule.
