Chris Olave has emerged as one of the most talked-about receivers as the trade deadline looms. The young Saints are fast, polished, and already a primary target in the New Orleans Saints’ offence. While the Saints remain publicly inclined to keep him, Olave’s name has understandably surfaced in trade conversations around the league.
Diana Russini reports the Buffalo Bills were among the teams to formally inquire about Olave in recent weeks. According to Russini, Buffalo made calls to New Orleans exploring the possibility of adding the playmaker, though league sources still expect the Saints to retain their top receiver.

The interest underscores Olave’s market value. He would likely command a premium return, potentially a first- or high second-round pick in the eyes of contenders.

Russini also notes the Bills aren’t limiting their search to Olave. Buffalo has also made inquiries about Raiders slot man Jakobi Meyers, who has drawn attention from Pittsburgh Steelers as well. The Raiders, however, have set a high price for Meyers, and sources told Russini Las Vegas is seeking significant compensation for any deal.

For Buffalo, the inquiries are part of a broader push to bolster their receiving corps ahead of the postseason push. Bills will be taking on the Chiefs this Sunday which promises to be crucial game for both the teams.
As Russini’s reporting shows, interests and counter-offers are flowing as the deadline approaches but for now, Olave appears likely to remain in New Orleans, while the Bills continue to explore other receiver options like Jakobi Meyers. Stay tuned, the next few days could determine whether talks turn into a blockbuster move or not.
