The Carolina Panthers officially released veteran tight end Greg Olsen on Monday, and the free agent has already scheduled visits for this week.

The 13-year pro will meet with the Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter. Olsen will also visit the Seattle Seahawks, a source informed Schefter on Tuesday.

The Bills employ former Panthers assistant general manager Brandon Beane as their GM and former Carolina defensive coordinator Sean McDermott as their head coach.

The Redskins hired Ron Rivera as their new head coach after the Panthers fired him this past season following Week 13.

Olsen and the Panthers mutually agreed to part ways last Thursday after nine seasons. The three-time Pro Bowler owns franchise tight end records for catches and receiving yards.

Olsen played a full 16-game season in each of his first six years with Carolina, but injuries have beset him over his last three campaigns. He played 14 games in 2019, recording 597 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

The 34-year-old expressed an interest in continuing his career despite broadcasting opportunities also being available.
