Kamara is due just $2.133M in the final year of his rookie contract. As far as notable recent top running back extensions, they include: Christian McCaffrey (4-years, $64 million), Ezekiel Elliott (6-years, $90 million) and Derrick Henry (4-years, $50 million).

Back on August 21st, the Saints and Kamara reportedly began contract extension talks and it seems the absences from practice were unexpected for the team.

According to a report by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Saints began talking with Kamara about a contract extension. Although nothing was imminent towards an agreement being reached, New Orleans expressed through their proposal to Kamara that they value his contributions to the team and believe he is an "elite" running back. The Saints are also sensitive to the fact that Kamara played injured for much of last year. Earlier this month, Kamara shared publicly that he suffered a torn MCL in 2019 and played through it.
