What's a reasonable contract extension for Kamara to avoid possible holdout? (1 Viewer)

I'm pretty sure he was still hurt. After I posted that thread about the whole situation I researched high ankle sprains. They don't go away in 3 weeks (the rest he got) and playing on them just keeps extending the recovery window out further.

Was he simply playing on a high ankle sprain all year, which was what was obviously impacting his lateral quickness and tackle breaking ability? Or was there some sort of secret mental block or issue he was having for reasons we don't know? I dunno, but I'm an Occam's razor guy - I tend to go with the simplest answer, which is that he was hurt.

High ankle sprains are typically about 6 week recoveries. He also had a mysterious knee sprain of some sort which could have contributed. But again, if this was just on-the-field production I don't think that people would be as concerned right now. He looked absolutely dejected. His heart wasn't in the game. His effort was often poor and his awareness simply fell off a cliff. The lack of production was just icing on the cake, really.

I'm not sure I saw the same thing - but I wasn't looking for or aware of it either. So it could be true.

What happens with Kamara will be interesting. Even though he had a fairly disappointing season to most, due to injuries, he still put up nearly 1,400 all purpose yards and averaged 4.7 ypc. How he performs this season is going to be key. I don't see the Saints breaking the bank for a rb. When have they ever? Of course, I never thought we'd shell out 20 mil a year on a receiver either. I guess my point is, it's going to depend on how much the Saints value him. His market value is truthfully going to be pretty high, especially if he has a great season next year.
