Re: Kamara to Payton - "Save me from this sinking ship"
Kamara is not a victim. He knew becoming an NFL running back that a 7 year career would be way above average. He saw his peers like Cook and Elliott cast away by their former teams. He saw great running backs like Bell and Gurley decline at a much younger age than he did. He acted out and got suspended. He saw who was coaching the Saints and who their offensive line was. He made more money than almost any RB in his era except CMC. This offseason he did a mini hold out trying to get more cash and guarantees to get paid on this sinking ship for longer, rather than look forward to moving on to a team that was in a window to win. Now he could be publicly demanding trade, helping both himself get a chance to win and helping his team get draft picks for him without backlash, because the teams hesitancy to trade him could still be fear of public backlash, would be greatly reduced if he demanded a trade, making more fans understand it has to be done. Ultimately Kamara took a stand for cash, but no stand for winning, so far.

He's playing with no onward contract as of yet and getting hit with broken ribs every week because he's trying to win. |
