Some of these players come from families that never saw 6 figure income before them and won’t see it after. They are the only shot at generations not needing a scholarship for an education. You might be angry about them getting what they can when they can but I’m not.

as long as they refrain from beating or assaulting innocent people. Thug gotta go.

It's called Capitalism and if he's wrong then so are the rest of us who don't think we're just OK making what we are, when we can make more.

The money.

We are deluded to believe that when they take the field, money is in the top two reasons.

Alvin's net worth is 10 million at the age of 29. If he lives to be 70 that's $243,902/year. Factor in inflation and the raising cost of living and that's not very much at all.

It is a business and for the players it is the business of their families future. I do not fault them for getting all that they can.... Everybody else is.

excellent bank for a thug to play a game.

He ain't afraid to spend money or make money. It's losing money that gets to him. Sounds like a normal person to me.

Except he’s not a normal person. He’s getting paid big money already, to PLAY FOOTBALL IN BEAST-MODE. Watch film of him from last season… DON’T Focus on Carmichael, because that excuse only goes so far. Watch our boy closely, and tell me if he’s still got fire. Be honest about it. While you’re at it, watch “high”lights of our multi million dollar QB…. More fizzle than sizzle.

Putting what I can into a single thread.

I see a leader, a solid teammate and a highly competitive athlete who takes his performance incredibly seriously.

He's on the field while our other 3rd round pick isn't...

Coaches and players alike praise his work ethic and commitment.

Despite all the negativity he's here. Sure he knows he needs to be and yes he wants more money but let's not act like NFL Owners don't discard players in favor of their own bottom line.

Alvin Kamara is one of the last players we should be discussing in a negative light. All discussions should center around offensive line and QB. That’s our weak points. That’s where we need to improve to win.

Yeah I’d much rather be discussing him looking more like Marshawn Lynch on the field, than the importance of him retiring with a Saints Jersey on and an unlimited retirement plan for his family. I’d like to see him BALL this year, more than tweet.

Our QB is a DUD, and our O-line is everybody’s go to excuse, and we need a HEAD COACH.

Lynch 13 years 12,627 yds from scrimmage. 4.6 yds per touch

Kamara 7 years 10,048 yds from scrimmage. 5.5 yds per touch

I hope Kamara stays Kamara. A baller.
