Trade Alvin Kamara to the Los Angeles Chargers

We don’t want this to happen. Kamara is perfectly suited for the Saints offense as a dual threat on the ground and through the air, and he should be affordable for them. A long-term contract extension between Kamara and the Saints should be fully anticipated, either in this offseason or the next.

But what if contract talks fall apart? If the Saints were to shop Kamara round, which teams could come calling? One to watch might be the Chargers, who are likely to lose top back Melvin Gordon in free agency, as well as pass-catching specialist Austin Ekeler (a restricted free agent). Kamara could replace both of them and be a welcome checkdown for whichever rookie quarterback the Chargers end up with at sixth overall; let’s say that the Chargers offer their second-round selection, at 37th overall.
