The New Orleans Saints are stuck with Derek Carr’s contract for at least another season, so the team could try and get the most out of him as possible before blowing the roster up.
Could they try to add more weapons this offseason to open up the offense even more? One surprising move could be available to them: pairing star wideout Chris Olave with his elite running mate from college for a young duo out wide.
Per ESPN’s Rich Cimini, people close to New York Jets star receiver Garrett Wilson believe that he could request a trade this offseason.
“They think that he will ask for a trade after the season,” Cimini said on the Flight Deck podcast. He admitted that it was speculation, but it does make sense.
The Jets are just 4-10 this season and are going through a lot of internal issues right now. New York took Wilson’s star status away after trading for Davante Adams to appease Aaron Rodgers. It doesn’t take a lot to wonder why the receiver might be unhappy.
Adding him to the Saints offense, to be back with his friend Olave, would certainly open up Carr’s options in the passing game. Wilson has 262 catches over his first three seasons with 933 yards with six touchdowns this year alone.
Having him work the route tree while Olave stretched the field worked well in college, so New Orleans should at least think about pairing them together once again.
