Saints' Kellen Moore Reacts to Chris Olave's New Contract

The New Orleans Saints agreed to a four-year extension with wide receiver Chris Olave worth up to $132 million.

The New Orleans Saints and wide receiver Chris Olave have reached an agreement on a four-year contract extension worth up to $132 million, with $90 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Saints head coach Kellen Moore expressed his excitement about the signing, stating, "It's awesome for our team, it's awesome for Chris.

Just awesome for what he's gone through in his career, the success he's had, also the things he's had to navigate." Moore acknowledged that while the business aspects of the deal may take precedence, he believes the team is "really, really excited for where this thing's going." Olave, who was sidelined for a significant portion of the 2024 season due to concussion concerns, had a breakout year in 2025, catching 100 balls for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns – all career highs.

The duo will kick off the 2026 regular season with a Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions on September 13.
