Olsen said in a written statement last week that he would explore all of the career opportunities presented to him. But a person familiar with the situation said Friday that Olsen would consider signing with the Redskins, and reuniting with Coach Ron Rivera, if he opts to keep playing. ADOlsen was a three-time Pro Bowl honoree in nine seasons with the Panthers, who fired Rivera as their coach in December. A first-round pick of the Chicago Bears in 2007, Olsen has 718 career catches for 8,444 yards and 59 touchdowns over 13 seasons. Bills Coach Sean McDermott is a former Panthers defensive coordinator, and General Manager Brandon Beane previously was in Carolina’s front office.
