New Orleans Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis announced today the club has agreed to terms with 5th year wide out Chris Olave. Numerous reports have the 5th year receiver earning $132-million dollars over a four-year extension.
Entering his fifth season in the NFL, the first round pick in the 2022 draft has made an impact on the Saints offense, to say the least. The California native has appeared in 55-regular season games, starting in 44, piling up 291-receptions, 3,728-yards, and 19-touchdowns in that time.
For the 2025 season, the former Ohio State Buckeye started in every game, ending the season ranked 7th in the NFL in receptions and eighth in receiving yardage.
It has been a road filled with concussion protocols.
In his rookie season, 2022, Olave sustained the first of his NFL career in week 5 of the regular season against the Seahawks, forcing him to miss one game. In his second season of play with the Saints, he had his second concussion in the week 12 game against the Falcons. Olave did not miss any games, though, clearing the protocol quickly enough to play in week 13.
