Third in pecking order? Olsen could see the third-most targets in Seattle's passing attack in 2020, Stacy Rost of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. Impact Olsen joined the Seahawks via a one-year, $7 million contract back in February. The 35-year-old looks primed to operate as Seattle's top tight end, as his strongest competition will come from Will Dissly (Achilles), who is recovering from a serious injury sustained last October. Quarterback Russell Wilson has shown an inclination to lean on his tight ends in the passing game, as evidenced by Jacob Hollister finishing as the team's third-leading pass catcher in 2019. As such, it's certainly within the realm of possibility that Olsen could draw more targets than Phillip Dorsett or David Moore, who are the top candidates for the No. 3 receiver job behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. Of course, Dissly, Hollister, Colby Parkinson (foot) and Luke Willson could all factor into the mix at tight end, with any combination of those player potentially combining for enough snaps to siphon away targets from Olsen.
