Trade Alvin Kamara in Offseason (1 Viewer)

[whodatdds84]

Anyone else think it’s a great time to trade him? I wonder what compensation would look like. I know he’s on of my favorite players but we need to start stockpiling draft picks to rebuild this team. I feel like if we wait too long we won’t get anything for him.

Who else do you think we can get compensation for (that you wouldn’t build around)?

I’d definitely keep Olave.

Stop the madness. AK41 being on the team is one of the reasons why a new coach would see us as a desirable team. Impending suspension be darned

 

[BayouSAINTJoe]

WTH...he can't have a bad game everyonce in a while...looks like no one is bought in on the system, so why is it an individual player's fault when the whole damn system stinks?

 

[No2DC]

We can't trade any of our key assets because of Loomis's cap management.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Even if I agreed we wouldn’t get much for him.

Stockpile draft picks in the name of unproven candidates when we have a proven pro bowler and leader at running back?

No

He can absolutely have a bad game, he’s had some great ones too. It’s nothing personal against him. Imo he’s one of the most valuable assets we have so it’s a waste of his career to keep him here and a waste of potential future resources on our part. I love Kamara, nothing personal against just him. That’s why I mentioned other pieces we might be able to move. Poor thread title, my bad.

I love when people say this after a player’s worst game of the season, as if their value has magically skyrocketed after a poor performance.

“Nothing personal, it’s pure coincidence that I waited until he had a multiple-fumble game”

And have who as a RB? Ingram is old and done, Washington is not an NFL RB he’s mainly on the team for special teams, we lost Murray and Jones to other teams.

This is why I specifically said in the off-season. I’m sure he’ll have some more good games.

And what do we do with that draft pick? We now have to pick another RB...we're creating holes putting us in a deeper hole to acquire mystery putty to patch up the hole...what if the mystery putty turns out to be bubble gum.

Riiiiiight.

Had nothing to do with the 2 fumbles I’m sure.

Didnt have this idea after his 158 yard, 3TD performance against the Raiders?

 

[longtime lurker]

Let’s just completely rid our team of its top talent so we can sink even lower than we are now. No way

 

[CowtownSaint]

Out of curiosity, how many yards per carry does Kamara average this year and also last year?

It’s always better to trade a running back a year early than a year late. He’s reaching that age where star backs fall off the planet. It’s not a slow decline either - it’s a steel reinforced brick wall.

The history of the league is littered with star running backs who went out with a whimper.

If he has value and you can make the cap work, you have to entertain getting some value for him this off-season.
