Chris Olave limits participation at Saints training camp amid contract talks

Saints wide receiver Chris Olave participated only in individual drills at the start of training camp on July 29, 2026. His limited role is tied to ongoing contract negotiations as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. Saints head coach Kellen Moore indicated that the situation reflects the business side of football and confirmed there is no animosity during the negotiations. Despite missing team drills, Olave is preparing for the upcoming season after recovering from a health issue earlier in the year. The Saints are reportedly eager to finalize a new deal for Olave, whose agents are known for negotiating significant contracts in the league.
