Teams Monitor Saints' Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed Ahead of Nov. 4 Trade Deadline

The 1-6 Saints are weighing a rebuild move against retention, with Olave under team control through 2026 after his fifth-year option.

Overview

  • Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz reports both receivers are being monitored by wideout-needy teams as the trade window closes on Nov. 4.
  • New Orleans is viewed as a potential seller during a difficult first season under Kellen Moore, entering Week 8 at 1-6.
  • USA TODAY notes the Saints have exercised Olave’s fifth-year option, keeping him under contract through 2026, despite some reports suggesting near-term free agency.
  • USA TODAY’s analysis identifies plausible Olave fits that could inquire, including the Giants, Patriots, Bills, Steelers and Eagles.
  • Olave opened his career with consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and has roughly 400 yards through seven games in 2025, while Shaheed has been a productive complementary receiver and an All-Pro returner.
