Saints lock up Chris Olave with record-setting $132 million extension
The New Orleans Saints have agreed to a four-year contract extension with wide receiver Chris Olave worth up to $132 million, including $90 million guaranteed.
The New Orleans Saints have secured wide receiver Chris Olave on a four-year extension valued at as much as $132 million, with $90 million guaranteed, according to one outlet insider Adam Schefter. Olave, who came to the NFL after a standout career at Ohio State, posted his best statistical season in 2025, prompting the franchise to make a historic financial commitment. The new deal crowns him the highest-paid non-quarterback in Saints history and the second-largest contract the team has ever issued, behind former quarterback Derek Carr’s $150 million pact.
The agreement also eclipses Michael Thomas’s 2019 extension. In parallel, the Saints have bolstered their rushing attack by signing running back Travis Etienne Jr. to complement Alvin Kamara.
Why it matters
The contract makes Olave the highest-paid non-quarterback in Saints history, signaling the team's offensive priorities.
