What's a reasonable contract extension for Kamara to avoid possible holdout?

There is no 5th yr option. That's only for 1st rounders. I've said this all along and have gotten flamed for it and that's fine, but imo the only option is to trade him before the draft. Get what we can now. I wouldn't pay him what hes gonna want with everyone else to sign.

The Saints have always been able to find RBs. I like Kamara but not for 10 mil a year.

A year ago, $10 million would have been a bargain. But boy did he poop the bed this year. I don’t think that there is any possible way the Saints get a contract worked out this offseason. Kamara blew it.

The challenge is that he was worth $15 million/year two years ago, and he was worth about $7-8 million/year last year. So Kamara has to hope that either someone still values him at that top figure or that he can work his way up to that figure this season to cash in next year. Either way, I’d be shocked if any team gives him a contract more than $10 million/year right now.
