According to Nick Farabaugh, the Steelers have called the Saints to check on WR Chris Olave‘s availability in a trade, but New Orleans does not seem interested in a deal.
Farabaugh’s sources describe Pittsburgh’s call as “due diligence.”
Farabuagh reiterates that a trade does not appear to be imminent.
Olave missed time last season after sustaining multiple concussions, leading to New Orleans taking a cautious approach with the receiver. Farabaugh writes Olave’s injury history has to be factored into any discussion.
Olave, 24, was first-team All-Big Ten in 2020 and 2021 and a second-team AP All-American in 2021 as a senior. The Saints traded up and used the No. 11 overall pick on him in the 2022 draft.
Olave is entering the final year of his four-year, $19,271,875 contract that includes a $11,195,909. He’ll make $15.49 million under the fifth-year option for 2026.
In 2024, Olave appeared in eight games for the Saints and caught 32 passes for 400 yards receiving and one touchdown.
