Bills Eye Saints' Chris Olave as Top Trade Target With Steelers Interest Raising Stakes

His fifth-year option keeps the price manageable for a contender.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets link Buffalo to pursuing Chris Olave before the Nov. 4 deadline, though no formal trade talks have been confirmed.
  • The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia argues the Bills lack a true downfield threat and identifies Olave as a strong schematic fit at Z receiver.
  • New Orleans is characterized as a likely seller, and Olave is under team control next season at roughly $15.5 million after the option.
  • The Sporting News notes the Steelers reportedly contacted the Saints in May about Olave, indicating Buffalo may need to outbid Pittsburgh.
  • Coverage flags health concerns after two concussions limited Olave to eight games in 2024, despite consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to start his career.
