Alvin Kamara trade rumors: Bills tried to acquire five-time Pro Bowler, turned down by Saints, per report
The five-time Pro Bowler joining an offense like Buffalo's would certainly frighten the entire league. Kamara is one of the best dual-threat backs in the game, as he's racked up at least 1,300 yards from scrimmage in each of his five NFL seasons. This year, he's averaging a career-high 70.2 rushing yards per game. It's no surprise the Saints had zero interest in parting ways with him.

Loomis and company used their head on this one...

Looking at contracts, it’s hard to see either of them leaving. They are either too big a hit in dead money against a cap we are already over and/or due too much future money (Kamara is due over 25 million in 2025!).

I’ve been browsing spotrac a bit and I’ll throw in another name….Winston.

Check out his contract numbers:

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-orle...winston-16725/

He has money (8.4 mill) due against dead cap in 2024 when he isn’t even under contract! Next year he is due a 15 mill cap hit (small for a QB) but has 11 million in dead money. That means if he is not on the roster (via trade or being cut the saints have to take that 11 mill hit plus whatever it takes to sign his replacement.

In other words get used to Winston because he’s on the team next year even if it’s as a backup.

I understand this is where some are critical of Loomis for the contracts he has given. I think the criticism is overblown however as I believe health, refs, and coaching/practicing have been the issues, not the talent.

You think you know, but you don’t know...and you never will! Coach Jim Mora

How so?

20M cap hit in 2022 & 30M in 2023.

Even if he was healthy, highly unlikely Mike would be traded.

Re: Rumor

RG3 on ESPN was trying to sell a Kamara trade to the Rams tonight. I guess these people need to come up with something to talk about.

To the national media, the Saints with Brees and Payton are a farm team. You could see it with the minimal coverage of the Raiders shutout. There was no talk of the dominating defense, or the efficient offense, or Kamara's spectacular game. Only that the Raiders didn't cross the 50 yard line until the last 2 minutes of the game and how Josh McDaniels is wasting all their offensive talent that was so productive as a playoff team last year.

Unfortunately we'll see it again Monday night too. All the coverage will be on the Ravens and Lamar Jackson, and his non contract, and their trade for Roquan Smith. If they talk about the Saints at all, it'll only be about the injuries.

To be clear, you so want MT13 gone that you're willing to take a $20+ million cap hit to get it done, right? If so, then who else are you dismissing from the team to get the cap space to make this happen?
