MIAMI — Tight end Greg Olsen, who just parted ways with the Carolina Panthers, would consider reuniting with Ron Rivera by signing with the Washington Redskins if he opts to continue his NFL playing career, according to a person familiar with the situation.

Olsen, who turns 35 in March, is expected to have broadcasting opportunities and will have to decide whether to keep playing or make the jump to being an analyst.
