Bears Blunders

Episode 3 | Trading Greg Olsen


Listen Later

Just as athletic tight ends were starting to become all the rage in the NFL, the Chicago Bears made the wise decision to select Greg Olsen out of Miami in 2007. What followed was a handful of years misusing his skillset that culminated in the organization trading him away. Olsen went on to become of the most productive tight ends of his era and notched three Pro Bowl nods.

This week's episode focuses on Olsen's time in Chicago, how he was misused in a Bears uniform and how his trade actually went down. Be sure to rate and review the podcast and to follow the host, Matt Eurich, on Twitter @Matt Eurich.
