Bears tight end Greg Olsen says he never asked to be traded, but he was worried about his role when the team hired Mike Martz as their offensive coordinator in February. "The question that immediately arose was, 'Where do tight ends fit in?' I was right there; I wasn't naive," Olsen told the Chicago Sun-Times. "I know he's one of the best coordinators [in the NFL]. For me, the track record wasn't there. But I feel positive and optimistic, after conversations with him and what we've done on the field, that I'll continue to have a big role in our offense like I have had the last couple of years." He says that he didn't ever want to be traded, although Olsen had not previously rejected rumors. "In this process, never once did I say publicly or privately that I didn't want to be in Chicago," he said. "If it were up to me, I'd play my entire career with the Bears. Obviously, there's a lot more that goes into it than that. But I've enjoyed my first three years here, and I've gotten better each year, and I want to be a staple in this offense for years to come."
