Redskins will host free agent tight end Greg Olsen
So this is happening
I'm actually pretty surprised he wants to keep playing, knowing he's got a tv deal ahead along with his injury plagued last few seasons. He must be waiting on a specific tv deal...guess that means the MNF crew isn't changing for next season :(

He wants to play one more year for RR. He’ll be a very good TE and also a mentor to Haskins.

I'd bring him in, why not?

Pretty much any warm body would be an upgrade at tight end.

I agree if he's healthy and low cost. Even a 2 year deal as he's not past it yet. But not on the kind of money that Hooper or Henry would get.

I doubt Henry is going to hit free agency. Chargers will likely tag him, especially with Gate retiring and having to lure a FA QB (i.e. Brady).

If true that means Hooper will demand and get the big bucks. He’ll be one of the top paid TE, but we need him bad. Right now we have NOTHING at TE. Davis is retired. Reed will or should retire. This position is critical for the team and Haskins.
If the team can’t get Hooper or someone else (besides Olsen, who they will hire) then they’ll need to draft a TE with their third or fourth rounder but the draft is thin for this position. It might be better to use their draft pick for WR which is very heavy this draft.

One draft projection has us going for that TE from Stanford in the 4th round.

Bradberry said he would love to play for Riveria again so I think this means there is a good chance we will look into Bradberry. On other note, Bradberry's comment about Riveria says a lot about Riveria's characters. I'm really excited to see what Redskins will look like in 2-3 years!

Edit: one thing we need to think about - Dunbar will be free agent after next season, so we will need to figure out how much we will want to spend on the CB positions in the future. I don't think we can afford to sign a good CB and then resign Dunbar unless the salary cap increases significantly.

There is decent depth in the TE projections. However, not having a second round pick and the Redskins needing help in so many positions (T,G,WR, TE, LB, CB, S) the 3rd and 4th round picks may have to be the best player available.
If there is any way to add picks they need to do so. (not just trade #2 down)
