  • New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara skips Saints' final minicamp practice over contract. Running back Alvin Kamara was absent from the New Orleans Saints' final practice of mandatory minicamp Thursday. Kamara's agent, Brad Cicala, told NFL Network that Kamara's absence was contract-related. Alvin Kamara was at the facility on Thursday for the Saints' walk-through but left right before the Saints opened practice to the media later that morning. In this video, James Skrmetta reacts to Alvin Kamara and the New Orleans Saints contract dispute and contract negotiations. Alvin Kamara wants a new deal! What should the Saints Consider? Kamara has two years left on the five-year, $77 million deal he signed in September 2020. Kamara missed five practices at the end of August 2020 before signing the new contract that year, but he maintained that he never held out for a new deal.

    Remember we’re talking about a guy that could have been suspended way more than he was just last year. If I was in charge I would restructure him to 3 years at 12 million with incentives to reach 15 or 16 million for two years with the out for the third year. It’s basically the same contract with one more guaranteed year.

    Kamara is not the player that he was three years ago. He still has two years left on his contract. With guaranteed money only this year. Look at it this way he hasn’t played a whole season the last three years and he still gotpaid. Kamara is in the same category as Thomas and Winston. Kamara is bad for the locker room. He is definitely not a team player. He is all about getting paid even if he doesn’t perform like he needs to. The Saints should let him know that at the end of this season a new contract will be under consideration. This will give him incentive to show the team if you still has IT or not. What have you done for the team lately. Not much!

    James, don’t fall into the trap of paying for past production, my man. I know it’s very tempting, and even NFL GM’s fall for this sometimes, but Kamara has to get a contract based on what he can realistically expect to contribute to the offense in 2025, 2026, 2027, etc (taking into consideration the new offense and every other factor, of course).
    We can not pay Kamara based on what he did for the team from 2017-2021…

    It’s the off season videos about certain players not going to practice, doing this and that is all overblown by the media usually more than likely it’s getting done behind doors and by the end everyone is happy. This is that situation AK41 will get his guaranteed money, saints will keep the biggest key of the nucleus, and hopefully he performs and we get a 10 win season somewhere in that ball park. Than build off that im just ready to see what’s going to happen bc either way if we do good enough for a playoff spot we in the playoffs but if we are bad my dreams come true and DA is gone pecan so either way the experiment works which I think and hope it can or it fails and DA ultimately proves he just can’t ever be HC
