Latest on Chris Olave

• The Saints are engaging in contract-extension discussions with Olave, with optimism from Saints GM Mickey Loomis that progress could come sooner rather than later; Olave is entering the final year of his rookie deal and could be on a $15.493 million option if no new agreement is reached for 2026.[1][4]
• Olave had health-related absences in recent seasons, including concussion-related games in 2024 and a blood clot in his lung that affected his 2025 season, but he returned to play in 2025 and has been described as healthy and ready for the upcoming season in various media roundups.[4][1]
• There have been older headlines about Olave’s concussion history and a past arrest unrelated to current status; these incidents are not indicative of his current health or performance and are included for context only.[3]

Notes and context

• If you’re specifically tracking contract status, the key takeaway is that talks have been positive but no finalized extension as of the latest reports; the fifth-year option could apply if no deal is reached.[1][4]
