Half the cost because he comes off the field on 3rd down and doesn’t possess big play ability. Which is fine if that’s what you want but there’s a reason he’s half the cost


Exactly, eats up carries. Comes off third down for Kamara. Kamara leaves after this year and we get out stud in next years draft after we fill out the holes this year and in better cap shape. Allgeier slides back into a #2 role.

And he can still catch the ball pretty good. But of course u want Bijan in on 3rd downs.

We don’t need someone to eat carries. We haven’t had a playmaker at RB in five years.

Exactly. Gives us an additional two full seasons to make sure he’s over the brain issues.

Educate me? Please lol. My point is, we should lock in the extension now. Why would we wait to end up paying him more?

It makes zero sense, unless there is no plan to extend him past the franchise tag season. Pierce’s deal shows you the market, and the price tag is consistently getting higher.

Kamara is washed. Get a guy who can do it all, backfill with Kendre, Estime, Neal. Or draft a guy.

Not sure of the updated numbers or his exact contract, but if we paying him 13 a year, that makes him the 5th or 6th highest paid rb in the league. I just don’t think he’s worth that.

He’s free to sign with any team today. He’s a free agent. Saints can sign him right now. Cowboys can match, but he’s free to negotiate and sign with the Saints.

Can’t do that unless you a free agent…

That’s not the definition of a free agent.
