Saints and Alvin Kamara agree to extension (196 Viewers)

Good teams see aging players on expensive contracts and look for a trade. Bad teams……..

He cant get yards behind that Line. We already are close to the oldest team in the NFL. We never know when to break up see Cam, Demario, Tyrann.

Good Lord, man! Do you ever have anything positive to say?

This is good news. Hopefully now that Miller is back we don't have to run Kamara into the ground anymore. I don't know why they don't use Williams a little more, he and Kamara are both averaging 4.0 yds. per carry.

Now we need the OL to play better.

SMH , We need the OL to be HEALTHY

I know this annoys some people, but to me it’s a good sign that players like Cam or AK want to be lifers and retire as Saints and that the team works out deals with them to allow that to happen. Taking care of such long term key contributors is a good thing, IMO.

So did they take the 25 million for next year and just split it in two for an extra year?

Derrick Henery is a yr older than AK and has taken way more of a beating in his career and he's leading the league in rushing , by 200 yds
Gotta look at the player, not some set in stone metric

 

[El Caliente]

Couldn’t have happened to a better person.

He’s on the Saints Mount Rushmore (IMHO).

Yess...now all the haters can suck on sour lemons

 

[kewee]

Good news.

Wonder if there is anything to the timing of this, cap space need wise, with the trade deadline near.

Is there ever? Lol. This team ain't making no moves

 

[SweetT]

Thats because we have signed 16 high school kids to start the last two weeks.

I’m officially

Essentially yes.

 

[Quiet Storm]

Awesome! Now let's figure out some way where he's not getting killed on the field right now.

That comes with McCoy, Ruiz, and Patrick coming back. Kamara still has the burst and vision but nothing he can do when there's no holes because we're playing 5th stringers.

It's funny going into the season we were concerned about Penning and a rookie but they've been our best linemen and most reliable.

I guessed something around $12m/yr fully guaranteed would be the right number. Good to see that man get paid.
