PHOTOS: Steelers sign Gunner Olszewski Steelers agreed to terms with WR Gunner Olszewski on a two-year contract
Joining Steelers Olszewski has agreed to a two-year, $4.2 million deal with the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Over his three seasons with the Patriots, Olszewski recorded just nine receptions, but perhaps the 25-year-old will be more involved as a receiver with the Steelers in 2022. In any case, the 6-foot, 190-pounder should continue to make his mark as a quality punt/kick returner.

Reports: Patriots won't tender Gunner Olszewski, Bolden bolts for Vegas As the new league year begins, reports have Gunner Olszewski set to hit the open free agency market, while a Patriot vet is on the move.

Headed for free agency Olszewski won't be offered a contract tender by the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact As a result, the depth wideout/special-teamer will become an unrestricted free agent. It's still possible the 25-year-old could end up re-signing with New England, but he'll now have an opportunity test free agency. In three NFL seasons, Olszewski has recorded just nine catches, but his ability as punt and kick returner will no doubt assist in finding him a landing spot for the 2022 season.

Patriots enter free agency eyeing upgrades at LB, WR
The Patriots spent heavily in free agency last offseason and got great production in return from additions Matt Judon, Davon Godchaux and Hunter HenryMARCH 10, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Minimal role on offense this season Olszewski finished the 2021 regular season with two catches on three targets for 31 yards and one carry for nine yards in 16 games.
Impact While Olszewski wasn't much of a factor in the team's offense, he once again made his mark by serving as New England's primary kick and punt returner. The 25-year-old is a restricted free agent this coming offseason, but Paul Perillo of the Patriots' official site suggests that Olszewski is a candidate to be retained via a contract tender.

Impact After not practicing Monday and only being a limited participant Tuesday, Olszewksi was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

The 2019 undrafted free agent will continue to be utilized more on special teams than in the offensive gameplan.

Won't return Olszewski (head) has been ruled out of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.
Impact The exact nature of Olszewski's injury is unclear, though he was ruled out quickly. He has served as both the primary kick and punt returner in New England, so the team will have a significant void to fill on special teams.
