In a bold move that will have a significant impact on the future of the New Orleans Saints, the organization has reached a new deal to keep star running back Alvin Kamara in the fold for years to come. This deal not only secures Kamara’s place in New Orleans, but it also saves the team a whopping $18M against the cap in 2025.
At 29 years old, Kamara has been vocal about his desire for an extension, yet he has remained steadfast in his commitment to the team, choosing to avoid creating any distractions, including holding out during training camp. The eight-year veteran has made it clear that he wants to retire as a Saint, expressing his love for the city and its passionate fan base.
Just days before putting pen to paper on his extension, Kamara took to Twitter to dispel any fake trade rumors circulating about him. In response to a tweet expressing hope for an extension and the chance to finish his career in New Orleans, Kamara’s dedication to the Saints was evident for all to see.
Signing Kamara to this extension is not only vital for the Saints’ offense, but it also serves as a morale boost for the entire team. While the move may not necessarily make the team younger, it sends a positive message to future free agents that the organization values loyalty and commitment.
Despite a tough loss on Thursday Night Football, the team found solace in celebrating Drew Brees’ Hall of Fame ceremony at halftime. This momentous occasion may have inspired the front office to make the necessary moves to secure Kamara’s future with the team until he decides to hang up his cleats. Kamara’s devotion to New Orleans has been unwavering, embodying the sentiment that “If you love New Orleans, they’ll love you back.”
