In a surprising turn of events, it seems that there will not be a last-minute contract extension for dynamic Saints running back Alvin Kamara before the start of the regular season. Kamara had made headlines earlier in the year when he walked out of the team’s mandatory minicamp as part of a push for a new deal. However, he ultimately reported to training camp on time and has been fully participating in football activities as the season approaches.
Despite his initial contract disputes, Kamara has remained focused on the upcoming season. In a recent statement to reporters, he expressed that while it would have been “cool” if a new contract had come together during camp, it is now “too late for contract talk.” Kamara went on to declare, “I’m kind of at the point where I’m not even talking about it until after the season.”
With two years remaining on his current contract but no guaranteed money and a staggering $29 million cap hit looming next year, it appears unlikely that Kamara will play out the entire year under his current deal. This has led many to speculate that Sunday’s game may mark the beginning of the end of his time in New Orleans.
The uncertainty surrounding Kamara’s future has left fans and analysts alike wondering what the star running back’s next move will be. Will he ultimately sign a new contract with the Saints, or will he explore other opportunities in free agency? Only time will tell as the season unfolds. One thing is for certain – Kamara’s electrifying talent on the field will continue to captivate audiences, regardless of his contract status.
