Overview
- Chris Olave said he and the Saints have had months of talks on a long-term extension and described the communication as clear.
- Mickey Loomis told WWL Radio the club has taken calls on players and will evaluate options case by case, adding he is not inclined to trade good players unless the return is too strong to refuse.
- External interest continues to be reported, with the Patriots and Giants linked in recent coverage, and analysts characterizing any proposals as speculative at this stage.
- Olave remains under contract through the 2026 season, giving New Orleans leverage as it considers whether to keep him or seek draft capital.
- The Saints are 1-6 entering Week 8, and the Nov. 4 trade deadline looms as the point when any decision on Olave will crystallize.
