Chris Olave Says Saints Extension Is 'In the Works'

New Orleans has him under contract through 2026 via the fifth-year option.

Overview

  • Olave told the Up & Adams Show he wants to stay in New Orleans "forever" and confirmed extension talks are underway.
  • No agreement has been finalized, with reporting characterizing the negotiations as ongoing.
  • The Saints exercised Olave’s fifth-year option in April, positioning him for free agency in 2027 without a new deal.
  • Olave has 60 receptions for 664 yards and four touchdowns this season, including a strong stretch over his last five games.
  • Multiple teams reportedly inquired before the Nov. 4 deadline, but New Orleans views him as a long-term building block despite a 2-8 record.
