Steelers Eye Chris Olave Amid Receiver Search

The Pittsburgh Steelers, after trading George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys, have expressed interest in acquiring New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave to strengthen their receiving corps. While Olave has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in his first two NFL seasons, his 2024 campaign was limited by injuries. The Saints are currently not interested in trading the 24-year-old receiver, and the Steelers' approach has been described as preliminary due diligence. Pittsburgh's quarterback situation remains unresolved, with Mason Rudolph and rookie Will Howard leading the depth chart, amid speculation about a potential move for Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers’ pursuit of Olave demonstrates their intent to upgrade offensive weapons for 2025. However, a trade for Olave is not imminent, and he is likely to remain with the Saints.
