The best thing the Saints could do by Alvin Kamara is to trade him to a contender.

Just spread the 25 mil out over 2 or 3 years that way he goes out a Saint. I know a few were saying this prior to the season start and it the best thing to do for culture, the player, and the organization. Hopefully Miller and Mims can step up. Also, RBs are a dime a dozen in the draft, so we should be good. We just need the depth.

My heart says yes but my head says no. I think it's okay to do a deal in the $7 million AAV range for 2 or 3 years with Kamara, though 3 years might be too long. But as you said, RBs are a dime a dozen in the draft which is why logically it makes sense to move on from AK even if it is a year or two early. Losing him would be a big hit to the culture, but if he hits the wall next year it's better than having $7 million on the books for him for two years after he hits the wall.

But, it's all moot because according to Underhill they have reopened negotiations with Kamara so they clearly do plan to extend him. And if they do, I won't be mad about it. It will be good for the culture and I love Kamar. But I will be concerned that he ends up hitting the RB wall before his deal is over.
