On Thursday, the Saints agreed to a four-year extension with Chris Olave, ending the receiver’s brief hold-in as he sought a new deal.
Head coach Kellen Moore called it “awesome for our team, awesome for Chris” in his Friday press conference.
“Just awesome for what he’s gone through in his career, the success he’s had, also the things he’s had to navigate,” Moore said. “At the end of the day, when everyone is shooting for the same goal, it’s a matter of time before it gets figured out. Sometimes the business part takes a little precedence, which is fine. And I think everyone’s really, really excited for where this thing’s going.”
The No. 11 overall pick of the 2022 draft, Olave has eclipsed 1,000 yards in three of his four seasons since entering the league out of Ohio State.
In 2025, Olave set career highs in receptions (100), yards (1,163), and touchdowns (nine). In all, he’s caught 291 passes for 3,728 yards with 19 TDs in 55 games.
