There isn't a whole lot of San Francisco 49ers-related news going on right now, but at least one NFC West story is grabbing a few headlines today. The division-rival Seattle Seahawks have agreed to a one-year, $7 million deal with former Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
That means the 49ers will face the 34-year-old tight end twice during the upcoming season. Olsen is years removed from his last 1,000-yard season in 2016, but he still recorded 52 receptions for 597 yards with two touchdowns through 14 starts with Carolina in 2019.
The Chicago Bears made Olsen the No. 31 overall selection in 2007 after playing college football at Miami (FL). The 13-year veteran spent four seasons in Chicago before his nine-year run with Carolina. The Panthers released Olsen, who was due $11.7 million in 2020, on February 3.
Olsen is Carolina's all-time leading tight end in receiving yards (6,463) and receptions (524), and he ranks third all-time in those categories behind Steve Smith and Muhsin Muhammad.

There hasn't been much official chatter on that front aside from general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan assuring reporters that every effort is being made to retain Aiyuk.

Why one analyst is worried for Brock Purdy if 49ers trade Brandon Aiyuk
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy achieved a remarkable feat in 2023, setting a single-season franchise record with 4,280 passing yards. This accomplishment is noteworthy, considering the illustrious quarterbacks who have graced the organization's history.

Amidst significant offseason chatter surrounding the 49ers' star receiver, including several unsubstantiated trade rumors, Aiyuk's future remains uncertain. Former NFL player James Jones, now an analyst, expressed concern for Purdy should Aiyuk's tenure in the Bay Area come to an end.
