We already knew. He’s been saying that. Give him a two year extension and call it a night.

That'll likely be just what happens soon. But, not everyone knew. Some people out there were thinking it's all about the money and he'd be willing to go elsewhere.

If anybody could f*ck up a deal, and make a player like AK irrelevant, it’s our front office. Watch…

Hopefully they figure it out. RB room a little thinner than I’d like.

The problem is that he already has a contract and that is better than he would get on the open market / pays more than his market value and he wants a raise and new guarantees far above his market value. This is false loyalty. This is like if you are struggling to pay bills and your wife says she wants to be with you forever and all its going to take is a 10 carat diamond and a new Ferrari. I am fine with Kamara retiring a Saint but he is not on a paupers rookie contract he is on a bloated deal signed during his prime and his performance does not merit a raise or additional guarantees, if anything it merits him take a pay cut to about $8 million a year to help the team win and be honest about his age and declining skills.

“I ain't stupid. I ain't going to give no money up. I'm trying to get some money,"

Kamara said after the Saints' first practice of training camp on Wednesday.

Call me a grouchy geezer, but with a net worth of around $10 million, that doesn’t sound like someone whose priority is to ball for us right now.

I posted an article on my site to put it on the record that I do think Loomis is having a better offseason this year, but that giving in to Kamara will ruin it, blow the Saints salary cap, and mean $50 million a year for Carr and .500 forever.
