Alvin Kamara indicted. Court date is set for March 2.

As bad as I hate to say it, I believe Kamara is done in New Orleans. He’s gonna be an example of how one mistake can derail your career. The video shows him coming from behind and hitting a guy that was fleeing. That’s assault, not self defense. Without a weapon being brandished by the person Kamara hit, and with Kamara coming from behind to punch him, it’s gonna end up being a pretty simple case for the prosecution. Add in Kamara wise cracking about hitting the guy, it just pours salt on and already difficult wound to close. I have supported Kamara his entire career. He’s one of the most athletic and entertaining players I’ve ever watched play football, but he’s gotta be let go. You have to set an example, and you have to conduct matters in a professional manner, not just for this upcoming season, but for seasons to come. Kamara, for everything he’s done while a Saint, he is the cause of his own current situation, and you can’t blame the organization if they do choose to let him go. This isn’t anyone’s fault but Kamara’s. It’s completely reasonable for the organization to expect and demand better from their players. Let’s be honest, not attacking somebody in a nightclub, in the early hours of a morning, isn’t really that much to ask.
I get that. If this was something he'd done before, I'd say send him on his way. As far as I know, this is a first offense with him. If anyone deserved a second chance, he be one I'd give it to. He's been a great teammate and is involved in the community and by almost all accounts, he's a stand up guy. I think the team recognizes this and if he gets a suspended sentence and probation, he should serve a league suspension and be back playing 8 weeks into the season.

He can't comment on it now obviously for legal reasons, but I suspect after a plea agreement or trial, I'm sure he'll eventually admit it was a big mistake on his part.

He doesn't have to be done in NOLA, although I could understand it is the team decides to part ways, but they really don't have to cut bait with him just yet.

Now, in the unlikely event of a lengthy prison term, the team probably has no choice but to let him go.
