According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Greg Bedard, the loudest Combine chatter of late has been that Bears TE Greg Olsen is on the block.
One rumor making the rounds had Olsen going to the Pats for one of the team's three second-round picks. Olsen's skills are a poor fit for Mike Martz's offense and the Bears don't have an early-round pick this year, so the chatter makes sense on the surface. The Bears could then pursue Brandon Manumaleuna as a blocking tight end.

Id definitely give the Bears an offer for Olsen, but i doubt i would go as far as doing a straight swap involving our second rounder (#33). Id offer the high third rounder we have and see if they bite. Olsen is an established pro and if we were to bring in a rookie QB he offers a much better option at the TE position then the Rams have had in a long time
