Trade rumors no more as Alvin Kamara lands big contract with Saints

RB Alvin Kamara and the Saints have reached agreement on a new five-year contract worth $75 million in new money.

Fantasy Impact:

Rumors and speculation were floating that the Saints were maybe discussing trading Kamara, but it was always more likely Kamara would get a new contract from the Saints, who always tend to kick the salary cap can down the road. The deal includes a $15 million signing bonus. As we saw last season, even with Latavius Murray in the mix, Kamara's workload really isn't diminished and this contract only furthers that development. Kamara clocks in at No. 7 on our Week 1 running back board against an improved Tampa Bay defense.

Report: Saints, RB Alvin Kamara near extension

The Saints and running back Alvin Kamara are getting close to a contract extension.

Fantasy Impact:

The Saints aren't in great shape for the 2021 salary cap, according to reports. But, the two sides are “extremely close” to a “lucrative” extension, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. There’s been talk in recent days that Kamara is unhappy that he hasn’t been extended and even the Saints were looking to trade him.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara said he didn't hold out, dealing with flare-up

A source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Alvin Kamara was also seeking treatment for a back issue during those practice absences. But Kamara returned to practice fully last week and said Monday that he is not concerned about the back being an issue.

"It's something light," Kamara said. "I kind of dealt with it a little bit last camp too. Just a little flare-up, just a little [sacroiliac] joint flare-up. It just needed some rest, a little injection, but nothing serious."

Fantasy Impact:

Kamara is heading into the final year of his rookie contract. But so far he and the Saints have been unable to bridge the gap between their desires on a long-term extension, the story said. There were reports the Saints would be open to trading Kamara while other reports said the two sides were getting close.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara practicing, expected to stay with NO

Saints RB Alvin Kamara is practicing on Wednesday after undergoing an epidural shot and being involved in trade rumors yesterday.

Fantasy Impact:

Initial reports indicated that Kamara was holding out for a long-term contract extension before turning to rumors that the Saints were looking to trade the star running back instead of paying him big money. Those rumors have faded in the last 24 hours with more recent reports suggesting both sides hope to come to an agreement to keep Kamara in New Orleans long-term. His return to practice suggests the two sides are continuing to work towards a deal and means Kamara should be lined up behind Drew Brees as normal Week 1.
