I don't know where you rank him, but he's 8th in receiving yards and tds while having rattler for half a season and a rookie (pretty good one though) qb. If this board is to believed, those QBs have played behind a horrible oline. Seems odd that if Olave is definitely not a 1 that he's put up stats like a 1 under these circumstances

Heavily incentive payments, not base.

A GM who doesnt fear for their job will pay Olave handsomely

absolutely not top 5. No Yac, dives on the ground, drops big catches. Not really a deep threat or contested catches. The Saints will pay him a decent salary because they dont like to admit they make mistakes drafting(he cost 3 picks). Once Vele went out there is no one else to throw to.His two touchdowns were busted coverages. no one was near him.

I thought the game tying one vs Carolina was a big catch

Fine losing him. He's a concussion away from retiring.

We lose games if Saints have to rely on him.

I say it'll be a 4 year extension ontop of his 5th year option. Wouldn't pay more than what Garrett Wilson got, he's not a game changing wr1, he's a mid tier wr1 that 10-20 range.

Did you tell Loomis?
Arm Chair GM?
Are you going to personally tell the Saints FO, Gayle Benson, or KM?

Are you just going to post it on TD?

So we basing it off of stats? He's a top 5 WR as far as stats go but there's at least 15 WR better than him that you would take over Olave anyday of the week

If he wants to be paid like a top ten receiver in the league, I would rather spend that money on someone else.
He is too inconsistent and is another concussion away from being put on the shelf.

He needs to be traded and hope you hit it in the draft. He has concussion issues and it’s time to get what you can for him. Nothing personal.
