New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis expressed a desire to sign star wide receiver Chris Olave to a contract extension on Tuesday. Olave is preparing to enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2026 after the Saints exercised their fifth-year option. New Orleans selected Olave with the No. The only game Olave missed came in Week 18 when he was forced to sit due to a blood clot in his lungs. However, Loomis admitted that Olave's history of injuries is "an element" of the discussions that are being had regarding a new contract.
