It’s the time of year in which we put the clock on waiting and watching for NFL rookies to sign their first NFL deals. Consider that done for former Ohio State receiver Chris Olave.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Olave has inked his rookie deal, and it’s a good one that is fully guaranteed. One that is four years and will reportedly pay him $19,271,874. If you are looking at that number and think it’s a big one with guaranteed money, you would be correct.
Olave was selected by the Saints with the No. 11 overall pick in the first round of the draft, just one spot below Buckeye teammate Garrett Wilson.
Saints and first-round pick Chris Olave agreed to terms on a 4-year, fully-guaranteed $19,271,874 deal, per his agents @DrewJRosenhaus and @NFLrecord.

Congrats to Olave. Here’s to hoping his first year is one where he shows everyone why New Orleans used its first pick on him. We also wish the all-time Ohio State receiving touchdown leader a long and productive career at the highest level of the game.
We’ll continue to keep an eye on Ohio State rookies that ink deals as news is made available.
