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

I would like him to remain but certainly not "no matter what." I would not pay him the amount remaining on the last year or anything close to that number. I would certainly pay him market value though, whatever that is.

That's where I think the disconnect is. Kamara has said he's not looking to break the bank. But we don't know what that is. I have a feeling he wants 10+mil/year and 2-3 years. I think his value is more in the $7-8mil range.

I think he's very similar to Aaron Jones right now in both age and production. Jones just signed 1 year, 7mil with the Vikings. Derrick Henry is still playing at a high level and led the league in rushing just two years ago and he got 8mil/year for two years. I don't see any reason he should get more than those guys. This feels very similar to a Mark Ingram situation.
