According to veteran sports journalist Albert Breer, AFC's Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers have shown interest in adding Chris Olave to their offensive lineup. The two franchises reached out to the Saints to inquire about the WR. The 24-year-old has had a wonderful offseason and it has clearly not gone unnoticed.

“The Saints got inquiries from the Browns and Steelers early in the offseason, and rebuffed them, and Olave’s had a really nice offseason since. Maybe someone blows New Orleans away with an offer. But he’s not on the block, and I have a hard time thinking he’s going to be traded.” [H/T: Blitzburgh]

If the Steelers are able to trade for Olave, it could make their offensive lineup invincible. There are strong rumors floating around that NFL legend Aaron Rodgers could be heading to Pittsburgh next season. If the Steelers are able to acquire both the star players, seeing them dominate the AFC North Division would not be surprising.

Olave has 2,565 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in the 39 games he's played with the New Orleans Saints. However, he has been injury prone. A concussion forced him to watch the Saints last eight games from the sidelines. This does cast a shadow of doubt over his long-term health and availability on the field.
