Bills Linked to Olave, Shaheed Before Deadline

The New Orleans Saints, off to a 1-6 start in 2025, are considered likely to shop wide receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline to acquire future assets. Olave remains under contract through 2026 after the team exercised his fifth-year option, while Shaheed is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the season. The Buffalo Bills, 4-2 entering Week 8 after two straight losses, have been prominently linked as potential suitors for Olave and Shaheed amid concerns that Josh Allen lacks a true No. 1 receiver. Media reports also connect Buffalo to other veteran targets — Jakobi Meyers, Rashod Bateman and Calvin Ridley — and note the Bills have draft capital, supporting offensive pieces (James Cook, Dawson Knox, Dalton Kincaid) and an active front office under GM Brandon Beane. With only weeks until the deadline, Buffalo faces pressure to act if its receiving issues persist, and the Saints’ poor start makes Olave and Shaheed realistic sellable assets.
