Running Back · New Orleans Saints

Alvin Kamara

No. 41 · 10th season

Kamara staying put — and New Orleans knows what that means

Some players make you wonder, every offseason, whether this is the year they leave. Kamara has been one of those players for a while now.

He came up as one of the most complete running backs in the league — a threat catching the ball out of the backfield as much as carrying it — and built his entire identity in New Orleans. The Saints have been his only NFL home. That kind of loyalty, in this era, is not a given.

Now there's a new deal. Kamara is staying, set to earn $6 million in base salary under the agreement. The negotiation is done. The question that hangs over every Saints offseason got its answer.

For a franchise in a rebuild, keeping the player who has been the face of the offense is a signal. It tells you something about where they think they're going. For Kamara, it means another chapter in the one city where he has always played.

The question now is what he does with it.
