This could be Alvin's last year as a Saint and it would be a massive mistake by Allen

Last year, when the storm was brewing around Carmichael's playcalling, Allen mostly refrained from throwing Carmichael under the bus. There were a ton of rumblings coming from players during media interviews, but no one was more outspoken or as honest as Alvin. It wasn't nearly as bad as Michael Thomas, but Alvin didn't handle it like some of the other players. It was in that moment that I realized he didn't fit Allens new culture and I feel like the guys Allen is for, got their contracts adjusted already. I feel like Alvin hasn't been signed because Allen isn't pushing for this to be something that gets done and pronto.

I could be wrong but I sense that Alvin is a remnant from Payton's previous culture that Allen would like to move on from. It also explains why Allen is so frustrated with Kendre, because Kendre is Allen's excuse to move on in a year.

I don’t know… could be. But I kind of have the feeling the FO want to see if it was the Pete Offense that has created a decline in Kamara’s production, or if it is Kamara hitting that age wall.

My take on it is there is apprehension to get any deal done until they see how he does within this offenseive scheme going forward because I believe I read they could move on after this season and save something like 25 million against the cap.

Maybe they both are waiting to see.

Kamara seems okay with going forward this year, so it could work out really well if he has an incredible uptick, which I expect to see, especially with Taysom blocking and the way our run scheme has changed.

I think this whole situation reads as a wait and see type thing for moving forward.
