Olave extension: Predictions
Posted on 6/2/26 at 6:35 pm
Posted on 6/2/26 at 6:35 pm
Drake London now the 3rd highest paid WR with a 4/141 extension @ $35.25mil per year.
That guarantees Olave will be in the range of $33-$37mil right?
I predict 4/145.
Thought it would be closer to 4/135 before the London news. Not sure how injuries will play into the conversation but he's probably better than London and this won't help.

This is exactly why we should have gotten this extension done a month ago, but I expect he will be just over London is terms of AAV.

Hopefully they’ll just tell him to not let the door hit him in the arse on the way out.

More polished maybe. London is a more talented player with higher upside

I couldn't go more than 33 for Olave. Even at 33, he equals DK Metcalf and surpasses Amon-Ra and Tee Higgins, among others. Over 33, he gets into the Justin Jefferson convo.
London's deal is just insane, and ATL will have to pay Bijan too.
What a world we live in.

Olave is a solid WR2

Not so sure about that.
London:
62g/ 60gs/ 3,961yds/ 22TD/ 8.0 ytg
Catch: 309/497 62.2%
Olave:
55g/44gs/ 3,728yds/ 19TD/ 8.2 ytg
Catch: 291/457 63.7%
London with 7 extra games and only +3 TD's/ 233yds. Olave also left early in atleast 4 games. Olave is better, London is healthier.
This is Olave's last 3 games with Shough. I'll take that upside > London.
3gm/ 352yds/ 4 TDs
Catch: 24/ 36 66.7%

Olave is smart and knows that waiting gets him more money. We couldn't force him to sign an extension

trade that mf'er

He is signed before game 1.
How much hell it was 30 mil per.

You guys get way too hung up on overall dollar totals and comparing it to other players or previous deals
If Olave gets $33m (and im not saying he should), that would be less than 11% of the salary cap
That would put Olave at around 7 highest in the league ... which is where he finished in yards last season, even with Rattler throwing to him for half a season

Seems like you think they won't play into the conversation.

I think you line up the years to make this extension end when Shoughs hopefully getting his 2nd QB contract extension.
Give Shough a solid reliable WR while he’s on his rookie deal, even if you have to overpay a little bc you can afford to.
It hopefully leads to success for Shough and you are off that big money once Shough gets paid

Olave looks good and is healthy. Now throw in that lesser WR's are getting paid more than Jefferson. Both of those things kill the injury leverage we had before the season/ offseason.
Olave also finished 7th in yards and 6th in TD's for WR's while playing half a season with Rattler last year.
Olave is statistically on pace for a Top 5 production season based on last year.

The Saints are in a terrible position here

Again, it sounds to me like you don't think the injury situation will/should play into the decision.
Unfortunately, due to his concussion history, I think giving Olave that kind of guaranteed money would be a huge mistake. I think chances are better than not (significantly better) that he gets another concussion and his career is threatened.
If another team is willing to pay him as if his concussion issues are gone, I think you need to let him walk.

We are getting closer to a 2 year mark. That’s a substantial time period for him healing.
