Chris Olave's Saints Contract: Elite Tier or Bust

0:00On March 30th, Chris Olave turned heads last season with the New Orleans Saints, bouncing back strong after a rough year 3 where injuries limited. Him to just 8 games and 32 catches. With Tyler's show stepping in a quarterback, Olave exploded for multiple 100 yard games and 6 touchdowns over the final 7 weeks, proving he's the centerpiece of their offense. Earlier this offseason, trade rumors swirled around Olave, but he shut them down quick, saying he's deep in talks for a contract extension with the Saints. They see him as irreplaceable, especially with no other receiver matching his upside, even as they eye the draft for more help. Fans and analysts are buzzing because locking him up means big bucks in a market that's gone wild. Just look at Seattle's Jackson Smith Injigba, resetting things at over 40 million a year, or the Jets Garrett Wilson landing four years for one, 130 million despite shaky QB play. Olave stacks up right there with Wilson and talent and production, so expect the Saints

Talks are still rolling, but if they seal this deal soon, Olave could climb into the elite tier of paid wide outs, setting the Saints up for years of. Deep threat fireworks.
