Saints Sign Chris Olave to Four-Year Extension
The deal includes $90 million guaranteed and keeps the Saints' top receiver under contract through the next four seasons, ESPN reported.
- On Thursday, the New Orleans Saints signed wide receiver Chris Olave to a four-year contract extension worth up to $132 million, including $90 million guaranteed, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
- Olave is coming off his best statistical season in 2025, catching 100 passes for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns while becoming the focal point of the New Orleans passing attack.
- Despite his production, Olave has missed 13 of 68 career games due to injuries, with 11 of those absences caused by concussions, including two sustained during the 2024 season.
- Retaining Olave provides young quarterback Tyler Shough with a reliable veteran target while pairing him with 2026 first-round pick Jordyn Tyson to form an intriguing receiving duo.
- The contract carries an average annual value of $33 million, tying Olave with Pittsburgh Steelers wideout DK Metcalf as the sixth-highest paid receiver in the NFL.
