The New Orleans Saints and running back Alvin Kamara appear to have reached an impasse regarding his contract. Kamara, who was once among the NFL’s elite running backs, seeks a significant contract extension to finish his career with the Saints. However, the team is hesitant to meet his demands.
Kamara’s performance has declined notably over the past two seasons, and with his age approaching 30, the Saints have added running back Jamaal Williams and drafted Kendre Miller. This situation has led to speculation that a deal may not be feasible.
NFL analyst Anthony DiBona of Pro Football Network suggests that the Saints should consider trading Kamara now to benefit from his value before his production potentially drops further. DiBona identified Kamara as a prime trade candidate for the Saints, who are already preparing for life without him. Trading Kamara could provide the team with assets while he still holds value in the right circumstances.
The potential trade would mark a disappointing end to Kamara’s tenure with the Saints, where he has been a key player for many years. Nevertheless, such decisions are part of the business side of professional sports.
