I agree with most of this rez. I will say one more thing though and finish my piece. You mention you are not Ok with domestic violence. I agree and respect you for saying that.

Kamara was put into a stressful, non-life threatening (probably not even injury threatening considering it was 5 or 6 to one) situation and he chose to resort to excessive violence. A person who would be part of that is more likely to have an issue with domestic violence than a person who would have used restraint.

I could see us giving him a team friendly contract extension if he wants to stay here and retire a life long Saint.

That would be nice.

I think we should. Players look at things like that when deciding where they want to be. Showing loyalty to players that have earned it is a good thing in my book.
