The New Orleans Saints are officially back to full force on offense, but they still look a ways off from clicking on all cylinders.
Saints WR Chris Olave and the team agreed Thursday to terms on a 4-year, $132 million extension, and that meant he could end his brief hold-in and participate in team drills. Olave was in high spirits after practice, even if the negotiations dragged longer than he'd hoped. He said his camp and the team "met in the middle," and his goal all along was for things not to become a distraction.
Now the attention can be wholly paid to the field, where the offense still seems to be knocking some rust off. Olave was targeted once downfield but didn't catch a pass. There was one instance in 7s where he looked to be open on a corner route, but QB Tyler Shough looked elsewhere. I think in a few weeks that ball gets thrown for a big gainer, but not in this one. .
