The deal averages $33 million per year and makes Olave the sixth-highest-paid wide receiver in the league, behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ja’Marr Chase, Drake London, Justin Jefferson, and CeeDee Lamb.
This is a great deal for both sides. Olave gets the long-term contract he was looking for, and the Saints secure a vital weapon for their young, up-and-coming quarterback, Tyler Shough.
The Saints have had a pretty successful offseason, and this closes another major chapter as they enter the early stages of training camp.
How do you feel about Olave’s contract extension? Do you think the Saints underpaid, overpaid, or got it just right?
