Saints Sign First-Rounder Chris Olave
3 years agoThe New Orleans Saints and first-round wide receiver Chris Olave agreed to a four-year, fully guaranteed $19.271 million deal on Friday, according to his agents. The Saints traded up within the first round to take Olave 11th overall out of Ohio State. The 21-year-old track star will immediately give quarterback Jameis Winston another legitimate receiving threat to pair with the returning Michael Thomas. Olave set Ohio State's all-time touchdown record with 35 over his four seasons, and he brings elite speed along with smooth route-running skills. Even if Thomas remains healthy all year in 2022, Olave should be productive for fantasy managers in his rookie season in redraft leagues.
