Chris Olave's contract extension costs rise after Drake London deal

The New Orleans Saints face rising costs for star WR Chris Olave’s potential contract extension. After the Atlanta Falcons extended WR Drake London for $35.25 million per year, Olave's agent is expected to demand more than that. Both players, drafted consecutively in 2022, have had injury concerns and faced challenges on their teams. Olave has shown better performance than London, which will influence negotiations. The Saints aim to secure a competitive deal for Olave as training camp approaches.
