The New Orleans Saints have two players on their roster who could definitely shake up the playoff race if they get traded.
Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave are both genuine stars, and they each have a contract running through next season. If the Saints want to embrace a total rebuild, maybe they could be on the move.
ESPN's Dan Graziano wrote Friday that moving the RB and WR is a very real possibility for New Orleans, although he didn't share any possible destinations.
"Another team for which outside expectations were fairly low coming into this season, the Saints are off to an 0-2 start in their first season under coach Kellen Moore and might end up looking to retool their roster for the future," Graziano writes. "Veterans such as running back Alvin Kamara (144 rushing yards this season) and receiver Chris Olave (108 receiving yards) -- each of whom is signed through 2026 -- could be of interest to teams looking for skill position help down the stretch."

Kamara remains one of the best dual-threat running backs in football.
Olave, when healthy, can be a top-level wide receiver.
The Saints likely will have to draft a new quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft, which means there are no guarantees of a quick turnaround as the new QB learns the ropes.

This very well could be a multi-year process, and if New Orleans realistically views that as the case, it'd be wise to recoup as much draft value as possible for players that they don't see as being around for the long haul.
Kamara and Olave would definitely be needle movers if they end up on the trade block.
