Saints head coach Kellen Moore expressed enthusiasm about the extension. “It’s awesome for our team, it’s awesome for Chris,” Moore stated. He highlighted Olave’s resilience and success throughout his career, emphasizing the challenges he has overcome. Moore added, “At the end of the day, when everyone is shooting for the same goal, the business part is understandable. Everyone’s excited about where this is heading.”
