Saints running back Alvin Kamara indicted. Next court date is set for March 2.

Extremely disappointing that someone that has been a model player on and off the field his entire career would get wrapped up in this.

Damn prison sentence incoming

Get wrapped up in it by initiating the whole thing and chasing him down a hall and striking him, bragging that he connected with his jaw so hard?

Wasn’t his fault though huh. Just wrong place, wrong time?

Is there an out in the contract for something like this?

This.

Rb was always going to be a big priority for them. They need to find a vet on a reasonable deal and find 2 rookies. One needs to be a between the tackles guy. Luckily there are lots of good RB prospects in this draft beyond the top 2 of Robinson and Gibbs. I love Tyjae Spears and would take him in a heartbeat in the mid rounds, same with Achane, but you need someone like Zach Charbonnet or Tank Bigsby that can handle 20 carries a game. Letting Latavius Murray go might have been the worst move the Saints made past year. He was head and shoulders better than Ingram.

Does it clear any money to cut him?

He’ll get probation or a suspended sentence. But Goodell will probably suspend him once the case is done.

It'll save $662k, unless there is a personal conduct clause, and the team can void the contact and recover the paid bonus money. And I think they have to recover the money to get the cap relief.

Or, you could restructure his contract and turn his 2023 salary into the vet minimum and give him a $7M bonus to be prorated over 5 years. Then he loses basically nothing during the inevitable 4-8 weeks suspension, and you save $7M against the cap.

Of course your screwed in a few years when it's time for a new contract and you have to pay him a new bonus while taking the hit for kicking the can
