Saints Insider Addresses Chris Olave-Steelers Trade Rumors

It was an odd day for the New Orleans Saints on Friday.

The reason for this doesn't have to do with the franchise itself. The Saints didn't make any announcements or really do anything, but reports started to surface about the possibility of a trade involving Chris Olave and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rumors started to pick up steam in the morning on social media, but PennLive.com Steelers beat reporter Nick Farabaugh quickly weighed in and squashed it.

"In addition, sources tell PennLive that New Orleans does not seem interested in trading Olave," Farabaugh said. As of this morning, nothing is close to a trade or imminent. The Steelers would love to acquire a player of Olave’s talents, but the two sides must be interested in this. In addition, these due diligence calls to ‘check in’ happen all the time across the NFL."

He confirmed that the Steelers have called about the young playmaker, but noted that a move didn't seem likely by any means.
