He's never been the same since his knee injury. His insane split-second cutting on the opposite foot is one of the things that made him special. But he's lost that making him in the process not an elite back but an above average back with above average intelligence.

So the question asked, should we keep him? Depends on how he's used and the compensation package. He got his money. Is he willing to accept vet minimum deals for the remainder of his career? Would a team trade for him? Maybe Broncos, but probably nobody else at this stage of his career. Ingram abused his employers at the end of his career in terms not being worth it. And it took him three years to learn the position before his light came on. Kamara is much smarter than Ingram. He can be serviceable in a reserve role in the latter stage of his career, IMHO, but only on lower salary deals.

Also of consideration, we'll have to give Klint Kubiak the benefit of the doubt early on. In other words, we'll see just how he'll utilize Kamara.
