Chiefs considering trade for Saints receiver Chris Olave

sportingnews.com

The Kansas City Chiefs are reconsidering their wide receiver situation as they prepare for the 2025 NFL season. Some key players are facing injury and potential suspensions. Rashee Rice is recovering from a serious injury, and both he and Xavier Worthy might miss time due to off-field issues. With DeAndre Hopkins leaving for the Baltimore Ravens, Hollywood Brown is now the top option for the Chiefs heading into the season. Analyst David Latham suggested that the Chiefs could explore trading for Chris Olave, a young star from the New Orleans Saints. Olave, 24, has already had two seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards in his first three years in the league. The Chiefs may need to strengthen their receiving options to support quarterback Patrick Mahomes, especially since the offense wasn't as dominant last year. Olave is entering the last year of his rookie contract. The Saints might have financial constraints that could lead to him being available for trade. His brother has also criticized the team online, which adds to the uncertainty around Olave's future in New Orleans. The Chiefs could benefit from making an inquiry about his availability. If they can secure him, Olave could thrive with Mahomes at quarterback.
