Saints GM Mickey Loomis: receiver Chirs Olave reports for camp as contract negotiations continue
Mickey Loomis said the Saints and Olave have held meetings, but a contract extension is not done and trade talks could follow.
- On Tuesday, veteran receiver Chris Olave reported for training camp in Metairie as he and the New Orleans Saints worked on a contract extension, general manager Mickey Loomis said.
- Loomis characterized Olave's injury history as an "element" and a "variable" in negotiations, yet praised the wideout's attitude and commitment to the club.
- Coming off his best NFL season, Olave posted career highs of 100 receptions, 1,163 yards, and nine touchdowns in 2025, eclipsing 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons.
- If a deal is not reached, the club could explore trade offers to avoid losing the receiver in free agency, mirroring last year's trade of Rashid Shaheed to the Seattle Seahawks.
- Mark Powell of FanSided proposed a trade to the Buffalo Bills for 2027 draft picks, though Loomis maintains he wants a deal, saying the team is "not there yet" in negotiations.
