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

I have a hunch he'll bust through that proverbial wall and have a monster season. I'm still in favor of extending him with reasonable numbers. If he does move on next season, I'd hope it would be to Denver, Payton and the AFC.

And I'll double-down and say Cam Jordan has a bounce-back season as he'll be called in to move back outside to replace an injured edge rusher.

I think Kamara will have a big year this year and look a bit like he did a few years ago. And I think he probably has another season like that in him. But beyond that, I'm not sure. If he does have a big year this year, it may prompt bigger contract offers despite his age, but I'd hate to be the team that gives a 30 year old RB more than a 2 year deal. The end comes fast at RB and as Elvis said above you want to be the team that let a player go a year early, not the team that singed a player to a contract that is 2 or 3 years too long.

And honestly, if he wasn't AK, I'd probably say let him play this year and then let him go. But, he is AK. So IMO, the Saints are making the right move by not giving him a new contract right now. They may regret it if he has a big year, but I'm not sure how you give a big contract to a 30 year-old RB. But, maybe the market won't be there and they can brining him back for 2 years and around $8 million AAV.

As far as Cam. He's going to play DE, but he's going to be moving inside more on obvious passing downs. I think he'll have a bounce back year. Play the run like he always has and then maybe get 6 or so sacks in more of a rotational role at DE and DT.
