Overview

  • ESPN reports the Saints are attempting to re-sign Chris Olave and are not expected to trade him before the Nov. 4 deadline.
  • League sources say Rashid Shaheed is available for the right price, with New Orleans seeking a third-round pick, and Brandin Cooks is also a candidate to be moved.
  • Saints GM Mickey Loomis said the team has fielded calls on multiple players, without naming names.
  • Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Denver are described as the most aggressive teams seeking a wide receiver, with other outlets also linking New York and New England to Olave speculation.
  • Olave has 44 receptions for 440 yards and three touchdowns through seven games and is under team control through 2026 with a $15.5 million option, strengthening the Saints’ leverage.
