Overview
- The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that, barring an unforeseen change, New Orleans does not plan to move Chris Olave before the Nov. 4 deadline.
- Olave has said his representatives and the Saints have been discussing an extension since the beginning of the year.
- Receiver-needy teams have been monitoring the market, with the Bills and Steelers among clubs seeking help and the Giants mentioned but weighing draft capital after losing Malik Nabers.
- Despite a 1-6 start that positions New Orleans as a likely seller, other pieces such as Rashid Shaheed and veteran defenders are viewed as more realistic trade candidates.
- Olave, 25, leads the Saints with 44 catches for 440 yards and three touchdowns through seven weeks, reinforcing his value as a long-term building block.
