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

It begins and ends here. And it shows how completely inept we are from a roster management perspective in the FO.

The Saints have tried, multiple years, to make Kamara a bellcow. And every one of those years, he wore down and got hurt. His most effective years were part of a tandem. So instead of going out to seek a complimentary RB in FA or the draft......we are going to try to jam the square peg in the round hole. Again, for the 4th or 5th time.

But now its not an experiment with Kamara. At least the year Ingram was suspended those 4 games, Kamara at least had youth on his side. In the realm of RBs, Kamara is now a dinosaur. Writing is on the wall for AK. Get your money now because they have decided to run you into the ground instead of finding you some help.

I think you misunderstood, what I meant.

You are correct in that the Saints used him incorrectly the last two years by making him a bellcow back in the “traditional” sense, and asking him to run the ball against more goal line, stacked boxes, and short yardage.

What I meant is that our previous offense, saw the RB and the run game as complimentary to the pass.

This system sees the pass as complimentary to the run and thus the offense will go through Kamara. They will easily look to give him over 200 touches this year as a runner and receiver, no different than the 49ers did with McCaffrey last year.

No, I think they are correctly assessing he was used improperly and found a scheme that better fits him but if your going to make him the focal point, at least give him some security beyond this year, and commit to him.

I don’t think he’s asking for an expensive Diamond ring, but he is asking for a ring
