Would it really have been in any of these teams interests to 'take care' of their aging running backs because 'players talk' rather than freeing up resources to compete in the future?

The Jets signed 3 of these players, so maybe when players talk what they will say is 'hey Kamara, talk to the suckers in New York if you have lost a step, they've got money to burn.'

None of those teams turned out any better “freeing up resources”. Make your legend happy. Let him retire a lifelong, Saint. Build a culture that values the feelings of the players.

At this point I think he’s an important part of the culture within the organization and fan base. Hes seen us at our best and I think he’s needed if this team decides it wants to reestablish an identity. I say pay him and show the league we take care of our playmakers.

Kamara isn't wanting to leave. He's wanting to stay. It's not about the money, it's about an extension from everything I have heard and read. He wants to retire a Saint. This will be done before anything else resumes.

Don't waste your time with Bako, Rez. He hates everything the Saints are now. Hates.

AK IS OUT, at exactly the time that a well managed team in our position would have him IN. Nah we are a hot mess.
That’s what the Saints are now.

Trade AK while you still can get some value and get that contract off the books, especially next year's dead money. No player swaps, just future draft capital. Juwan is a goner with yet another injury. Opens the door for multiple new TEs. We need motivated young new blood anyway.

With the legal issues he had last year and now this my appreciation for Kamara has dropped way off.

AsylumGuido · 06-17-2024, 09:03 AM

Everything I'm hearing is that Kamara wants to spend the rest of his career in New Orleans. He's wanting an extension to stay here long term, not necessarily more money.

And don't forget, almost all of these players have agents and these type of moves are fully orchestrated by those agents. Nothing personal.

He will be dynamic in the offense. He will get paid. Even at his age as an RB, he still has a lot of tread if used properly.

Leaving while the team hits the field in front of God and everyone is a little different than leaking news or just not showing up. Looks like a message straight from Kamara to me. Obviously his agent is behind the contract issue but Kamara is going to do what Kamara wants to do to get HIS point across.
It doesn’t matter what your old scrawny Popeye looking ass says.
