Overview

• NFL Network reporter James Palmer raised Buffalo as a potential landing spot for the Saints wideout in recent on-air comments.
• SI.com’s Alex Brasky highlighted New Orleans’ 1-4 start and financial constraints as reasons Olave could be available.
• Through five games, Buffalo’s receivers have produced modest numbers, with Khalil Shakir at 235 yards and no wideout on pace for 800.
• Olave’s fifth-year option is in place, leaving him under contract beyond 2025 with a cap hit just over $6 million this season that escalates next year.
• Discussion remains speculative with no deal in place, and alternatives mentioned include Saints speedster Rashid Shaheed and a bigger swing for A.J. Brown.
