Chris Olave has signed a four-year contract extension with the New Orleans Saints worth up to $132 million, which includes $90 million guaranteed. This deal highlights the growing discrepancy between Olave’s new contract and DeVonta Smith's current $75 million extension with the Philadelphia Eagles, which averages $25 million per year. Smith, who is expected to take on a larger role in the Eagles’ offense following A.J. Brown's departure, has established his value as the team's primary receiver. While the Eagles do not need to renegotiate Smith’s deal imminently, Olave’s extension raises questions about potential adjustments to Smith's contract in the future.
