Madden 20 NFL Preview: First Look at Greg Olsen in Seahawks Uniform
After parting ways with the Carolina Panthers, Greg Olsen has joined a new team for the 2020 NFL season. The longtime tight end will catch passes from Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks. In anticipation of the move, a Madden 20 NFL preview gives a first look at Greg Olsen on his new team ahead of his first official season there.
Greg Olsen joins Seattle Seahawks for 2020 season
According to ESPN’s report, Olsen agreed to a one-year deal with Seattle as of Tuesday. He also had visits with the Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins. Just like Seattle, Buffalo was a playoff contender this past season but per ESPN, Olsen felt most comfortable with the Seahawks. He’ll now bring his skills to Seattle to show he can continue to play well.
Olsen was a former No. 31 pick for the Chicago Bears and has 718 catches for 8,444 yards and 59 touchdowns in his career. While he caught many receptions from star quarterback Cam Newton with Carolina, now he’ll shift to another NFC team and star quarterback.
After the news of the signing, Russell Wilson posted a throwback image on Twitter expressing his excitement of having Olsen on his team.

Even though the NFL season, playoffs, and Super Bowl already wrapped up there are plenty of football fans still playing simulated games on EA’s Madden 20. As they’ve done with other star players when they join new teams, Madden NFL 20 previewed Greg Olsen in his Seattle Seahawks jersey on the game. Here’s the Twitter clip showing the tight end in the new gear.
In the Madden 20 player ratings, Greg Olsen currently has an 88 OVR. That has him tied with the New York Giants’ Evan Engram for fifth-best amongst tight ends. Ahead of them are Atlanta’s Austin Hooper (89), Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz (90), Kansas City’s Travis Kelce (96), and San Francisco’s George Kittle (97).
Olsen’s best card to date in Madden Ultimate Team is his MUT Heroes item with a 91 overall rating. Previous cards included his 85 OVR Ultimate Trainers and 81 OVR Core Elite cards.
Of course, there will be an even newer look once Madden 21 arrives. That will be the new game featuring Olsen as he plays his first official season in Seattle. Until then, gamers can test him out in the 2020 title as part of the Seahawks.
