It could be just that, as I don't really know Martz's style. But it seems like this is the 15th version of that same quote from Martz, and that might just be him diplomatically saying Olsen isn't going to cut it. They spent so much money on the FA TE, which led to Brown's release. I just think all signs point to Olsen not being a part of the Martz plan. can't just release olsen, though. but i wouldn't put it past the bears to do it when so many other teams would throw a high round pick at us for him. Right, Brown was a high priced guy so a release made some sense. Olsen is more valuable given his contract and age. They could get something for him, and are almost certainly desperate for more draft picks.
