Alvin Kamara

Will the Saints agree to a long-term contract extension with Kamara? At this early stage, we just don’t know. His value is all over the place due to his status as a part-time player, but his best plays rival anything accomplished by the NFL’s best running backs. Christian McCaffrey securing a $16 million per-year deal is going to elevate Kamara’s asking-price.

Just like with Williams, Kamara is a player the Saints might not plan on keeping around past 2020. It would be a shame for that to happen considering how integral he’s been to their success lately (not to mention the star power he adds to the locker room), but football is a business. And if another team is willing to give up, say, a second-round draft pick, then Kamara might be on the outs.

The Saints got nice production out of Latavius Murray last year, and he arguably deserved more touches than he got. They can find other players who can do some of the things that Kamara does well, but it’ll be tough to add a rookie who does what the annual Pro Bowler does best. Barring a great offer, it’s tough to imagine the Saints move Kamara, but it’s not impossible.
