Alvin Kamara skips last minicamp practice over contract dispute (No Guarantees in ‘25); Alvin Kamara is seeking an extension

For all those saying that AK41 is not the 2nd best RB and shouldn’t be paid like the 2nd best RB, remember this dude was 32nd (in the entire league) in scrimmage yards, while missing 3 games, and playing in the Stone Age PC offense. He’s one of only 3 guys on that list to play only 13 games as well. Let that sink:
In a 13 game season, while having a “down” year dude to our inability to even get a first down, this dude was still #32 in scrimmage yards. Also keep in mind that the list includes WRs, in a pass happy league as well.

To echo this point:

Last 2 seasons under Payton Kamara was a top 5 Running back in yards from scrimmage:






Then these last 2 seasons under Dennis Allen (and Pete Carmichael) He has been number 7 running back in yards per scrimmage:







So if you think that Pete Carmichael was ineffective at running the offense and that he did not use Kamara properly, you cant also say Kamara is not a top 5 running back. When you look at per game averages, he is one of the top 7 running backs in the league still, even after being mismanaged, just image what's going to happen when he gets to play for an innovative coach that will scheme to take advantage of his skillset.
