He thinks he has leverage ... Guess we'll see when the dust settles.

I'll say this, though, he's not the same difference maker as he once was , or pre injury. Probably not even worth his contract anymore .

It would be insulting to our players who agreed to pay cuts if we gave a pay raise or more guarantees without a cut for a player who is older for their position and who has declined more. If we did that on the premise of his production increasing in a potentially better offensive scheme, we would be rewarding offensive players for the offense being bad, and encouraging the defense to be worse so they could get raises based on hypothetical scheme improvements.

If Kamara gets a CMC type contract I hope he gets it from the Falcons and its fully guaranteed. Realistically running backs from the 2016 draft are all declined and those from 2017 are dropping like flies. We saw Cook and Elliott drop off the map last year. There is not a running back Tom Brady.

He's looking at a short shelf life as well as the other top RB's getting a little extra. Can't blame him for trying to squeeze more out of his fading career.

It's a business after all.

With the fans (paying customers) getting more of the short end of the stick, I don’t see how this business model continues to thrive, unless the majority of fans are Quidos.

Running backs are not like fine wines. That being said I’m not sure his down year last season was due to poor line play more than wear and age.

I don’t think we can really know what AK has left until we see him in our new offense. PC had absolutely no clue as to how to use AK.

Take care of your legends. Players talk. It’ll go a long way.

The Cowboys let Elliott walk. The Vikings let Cook walk. The Steelers let Bell walk. The Chargers let LT2 walk. The Vikings let Adrian Peterson walk.

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.'

If the O Line is up to the task, you resign him. Otherwise it's wasted money.

I'd guess;

3 years
$20 million
$12 million guaranteed

2026 is a void year.
