Sitting at just 1-5 after Sunday’s loss, it’s time to admit that the New Orleans Saints aren’t going anywhere this season. Of course, that was expected for a team that entered the season with Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough as its top two quarterbacks.
Still, now that the Saints are in last place of the NFC South with no end in sight, it may be time to consider entering the NFL trade deadline as sellers. While they only have one win, believe it or not, they have several pieces that other teams may like.
Arguably, the best of them may have just hit the trade block, too.
According to X.com, the Saints have placed 25-year-old wide receiver Chris Olave on the trade block.
Two teams that have reportedly already shown interest are the New England Patriots and New York Giants. Both groups need more high-caliber receivers. Drake Maye is thriving in Year 2, but he still needs more help to pair with Stefon Diggs.
Meanwhile, the Giants are trending upward after injecting first-round rookie QB Jaxson Dart into the starting lineup. They’re 2-1 with him so far and after losing Malik Nabes to a season-ending injury, the Giants could use all the extra help they get at the receiver position.
Olave has started all six Sains games this season and oddly enough, he’s coming off his best performance (98 yards) of the year. He’s compiled 39 receptions for 342 yards and a touchdown this season, putting him on pace for 969 yards, which would be his fewest in a full season.
