Olave & Shough: Saints' Offense Future in Negotiations

0:00It's March 30th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI. Your gridiron update, I'm Cory with the story. Chris Olave had a breakout year for the New Orleans Saints, smashing career highs with a hundred receptions, 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns. The 25-year-old Whiteout started all 16 games for the first time in his career and stayed healthy after a minor lung issue late in the season. Now, offensive coordinator Kellin Moore is pushing hard for a long-term extension to keep him as the team's top target. Olave really heated up once Tyler's show to go over a quarterback, replacing Spencer Ratler. He posted all three of his 100-yard games after that switch, earning second team all pro honors. Show balled out too, picking up plenty of rookie awards, even if he got overlooked for offensive rookie of the year. Moore says the Saints level Lave and talks are going well, but contract timelines differ for everyone involved.

1:00No rush on either side, just working through the business details to get it right. The hold-up seems to be structuring a massive deal in a market where top receivers like Olave command $30 million or more per year. With the salary cap rising fast, expect guarantees and incentives to play a big role before anything gets signed. His duo of Olave and show could lock down the Saints' offense for years, so keep an eye on those negotiations heating up soon.
