\u201cThe Saints got inquiries from the Browns and Steelers early in the offseason, and rebuffed them, and Olave\u2019s had a really nice offseason since,\u201d Breer writes<\/a>. \u201cMaybe someone blows New Orleans away with an offer. But he\u2019s not on the block, and I have a hard time thinking he\u2019s going to be traded.\u201d<\/p>\n There are several reasons why the Steelers should and shouldn\u2019t trade for Olave<\/a>. But if the Saints are willing to deal the former first-round wide receiver, keeping him away from their AFC North rival would be near the top of that list.<\/p>\n When healthy, Olave has been very impressive, recording 191 catches for 2,565 yards and 10 touchdowns through the first three years of his NFL career.<\/p>\n New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (12) walks the sidelines during an NFL football game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Nov. 03, 2024, in Charlotte, N.C. (AP Photo\/Rusty Jones)<\/p>\n Still, that seems very unlikely to happen, even if New Orleans is entering a rebuild following the surprise retirement of quarterback Derek Carr and new head coach hire of Kellen Moore.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The Saints might not be planning to be competitive for a couple of years, but Olave could still be a part of their future at only 24.<\/p>\n The most likely scenario for Olave to leave New Orleans would be if he were to make things ugly, and he has shown no interest in doing that thus far.<\/p>\n If that were to change, though, Pittsburgh may have to get into a bidding war with Cleveland to improve its roster while also preventing that of its division rival.<\/p>\n This article originally appeared on Steelers Now<\/a>: Insider Reveals Steelers Have Competition for Saints WR Chris Olave<\/a><\/p>\n Related Headlines<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NFL insider Albert Breer reveals the Pittsburgh Steelers aren\u2019t the only team interested in New Orleans Saints wide…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72498,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2055],"tags":[7453,260,6000,85,496,7,896,55,6,109,520,57,2360,426,1473],"class_list":{"0":"post-72497","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-steelers","8":"tag-albert-breer","9":"tag-carolina-panthers","10":"tag-chris-olave","11":"tag-cleveland","12":"tag-derek-carr","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-new-orleans","15":"tag-new-orleans-saints","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","18":"tag-pittsburgh","19":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","20":"tag-pittsburghsteelers","21":"tag-steelers","22":"tag-wide-receiver"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114556447358140826","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Steelers](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/4178c17e7727c18685bf218868386fc8.jpeg\"\/)
