Alvin Kamara faces an uncertain future with the New Orleans Saints.
Kamara has one year remaining on his current contract, and ideally, he’d prefer to have some long-term security. However, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis has remained non-committal regarding Karama’s future with the franchise.
“We’re just trying to see how he’s gonna fit on our roster,” Loomis said of Kamara last month. “Obviously there’s a resource management element.”
New Orleans’ free agency addition of running back Travis Etienne on a four-year, $52 million deal further muddies Kamara’s outlook in New Orleans.

Despite his lack of clarity regarding his future with the Saints, Kamara participated in OTAs with the team on Wednesday, and afterwards he made it clear that he holds no ill will towards the only organization that he has ever played for. After all, he understands the business side of football.
“There’s no beef or bad blood,” Kamara said of his relationship with the Saints. “Whatever decisions that have to be made, they’ll be made.”
