quote:

Saints and Alvin Kamara are not far apart in negotiations, per source, as Kamara has not asked for Christian McCaffrey money. Saints were open to trading Kamara for a 1 in light of absence but things calmed down, sides continue talking.

Four teams inquired about Kamara today.

So, they were mad he was holding out and put the word out on the trade
He realized and is coming back to the table

I think they get a deal done

Another thing is, Sean Payton doesn't play
You sit out a few days and he is already calling trying to trade your arse

It's just the value of running backs. Kamara is 25. I'm in favor of paying him 12 mil.
Do people really have a problem with that?

Kamara is worth way more to the Saints than he would be to any other team—his value is worth way more than simply his raw production numbers. But the Saints know this, and surely his people do too. All this the last week is just posturing. Considering just how short the NFL shelf-life is for a RB, AND just how well he fits into our particular offense, I think both sides come to an amicable agreement.

I don’t want to lose him—I’m not sure we can win the Super Bowl without him—and I know just how important he is to our particular offense beyond even his raw numbers. But because how unique he is, I’m not even convinced he could fetch 10+ per on the open market. Both sides are aware and will eventually wind up agreeing on something around 12. It’s in both sides’ best interests to work something out before the season begins.

Personally I think he may have studied what Bell did and how it's turned out for him. He got his money but now he's on a bad team with a coach that doesn't really want him. I know they want to be compensated but there's other things to consider as well

Like I said yesterday...if we can pay Hill $21mil, we can certainly pay Kamara $12mil.

Wish we did this with Drew when he asked for more money.

Sean Payton made Drews career

If Sean makes Taysom Hill into a starter QB it proves Drew is a system QB

remember Sean Payton is 8-1 when Drew is not the starter, the one loss is a week 17 game where we didn't try to win
