"The New Orleans Saints have said they're not interested in trading away one of their wide receivers, but league sources believe Rashid Shaheed can be had for the right price. Teams continue to call the Saints regarding the trade availability of Shaheed and fellow receiver Chris Olave, sources told ESPN. The Saints are attempting to re-sign Olave to a contract extension, and sources believe New Orleans would like to receive a third-round draft pick in a trade involving Shaheed."
"The three teams that appear to be most aggressively pursuing a wide receiver before the deadline are the Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos, according to sources. Olave, 25, said last week that due to the last-place Saints' struggles, he understands his name will be mentioned as the trade deadline approaches. Olave also sounded confident speaking to reporters about the possibility of sticking around New Orleans long term, saying he and the Saints were "on the same page" when asked about contract talks."
The Saints have stated they do not intend to trade a wide receiver, but league sources indicate Rashid Shaheed could be available for the right price. Teams continue to inquire about Shaheed and Chris Olave while New Orleans seeks to re-sign Olave and would like a third-round pick in a Shaheed trade. Brandin Cooks is also a potential trade candidate before the Nov. 4 deadline. The Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos are among teams actively pursuing receivers. Shaheed has 30 catches for 356 yards and two touchdowns; Olave has 44 catches for 440 yards and three touchdowns this season.
