Virtually identical statistics and age (CM is 1yr younger).

Kamara is certainly not overpaid either.

You cited "significant signs of decline". What are those exactly beyond the circumstances out of his control?

Aside from being underutilized (and along with the easy scapegoating of Carmichael), if you study film, you can see him bringing less fire when he is utilized. It happens when some players achieve celebrity status, and they start looking at maximum money for minimum effort and risk to injury. Unfortunately, we have become a culture that celebrates celebrity more than what the game is supposed to be about, so it comes as no surprise that some on here will defend his right to earn as much as possible, while avoiding impact (and having less of an impact on the field). He’s soft, but he has a nice shiny smile.
