Kamara is the least tradeable player in the league at the moment.

You don’t say? A guy that’s been in the league for 20 games doesn’t have the body of work someone that’s been around for several years? Shocker there.

I’d add any franchise QB under 30

Bell averages like 90 catches a year.

Bell does not wide receiver run routes as often as kamara.

Ok, I love Kamara and wouldn't ever trade him for Bell...

...but if someone offered me a super young and promising QB like Carson Wentz or Garrapolo pre-injury to sit behind Drew a couple years, I'm not thinking twice.

Oh I see. And how do you propose we pay to have two franchise QBs making over $20mil a year on the roster at the same time? I’d love to have Wentz or Khalil Mack, but the fact is we can’t afford them anyway. For what he is, Kamara is one of the best values in the league. I could see an argument for Mahomes or Mayfield, but it’s just too early to say how they’ll be long term.

Plus, take Kamara off this team and the offense takes a huge step back. Ingram active or not, we heavily rely on AK41 so a different position player wouldn’t account for that. We have seen how poor any other back has looked this year. He likely lengthens Brees career even allowing the window to remain open.

Kamara could have held out this year if he wanted to

Maybe this is a bad point because I don't know the history but did Leveon hold out his rookie contact?

Kamara actually plays.

You'd have to be Ditka-with-the-Saints stupid to do that.

You're making part of my point for me. We know Leveon's durability and production, can't say the same about Kamara which is why I'm not willing to say Kamara is definitively better.

Because he can't holdout. He can't renegotiate his rookie contract yet. PLAYS FOR SAINTS, BEST PLAYER AND TEAMMATE EVER!! WOULD NEVER HOLDOUT (until hes eligible to holdout and get more money)
