Kamara to Payton - "Save me from this sinking ship"

Apparently, Kamara had a quick discussion with Payton after the game and expressed his desire to GTFO of New Orleans.

I wonder what we could get for him, if anything?

Re: Kamara to Payton - "Save me from this sinking ship"
 

Kamara's base salary is just over $10 million. 7 games into the season, probably about $4 million of that is paid and $6 million remains due, which will become 5 & 5 closer to the trade deadline if we wait. Kamara's $25 million salary next year is a crazy number nobody will pay unless he becomes CMC and brings a team to the super bowl, so Kamara could be viewed as a 1 year rental. There is also a risk that if Kamara tore an ACL or something and could not pass a physical for 9 months, his team could be stuck with the $25 million, not exactly sure how that works.

I doubt anyone would pay a 1st or 2nd round pick to rent Kamara. Adams went for a 3rd that could become a 2nd with extreme success. I think we might get a 3rd-5th round pick if we agree to eat Kamara's salary by taking a $5 million or so hit to our 2025 cap (but really this would come off our 2024 cap and not change our cap situation vs cutting Kamara at the end of the year). A late 2nd is not impossible but is very unlikely. If we want the trade partner to eat all of Kamara's salary in the trade, actually saving us money, I think we are looking at a 4th-7th round pick. I still think we should do it. We need all the youth and depth we can get and it makes no sense to retain Kamara for 2025 anyway with a team that needs a rebuild and an aging RB.

I think Denver and Dallas could both be possibilities for Kamara. If CMC and Mason were injured, so could SF. If the price was cheap enough, KC would be interested too, but I dont think they want to spend big to win now when they know mahomes makes them a long term contender.

I wish that had been DA saying that to SP after the game because he knew he was gonna be fired and was gonna need a job.

The players have quit on this coach and this team. It’s done. The season is over for them. They’ll be lucky to squeak out another win or two.

It’s terrible that the likely last season in a Saints uniform (or maybe for good) for some great players like Cam, Kamara, Honey Badger and Davis is wasted.

DA let his team quit this season and on a special night for Drew Brees as well.

Infuriating.

Looking at our cap situation I think Mathieu and Davis remain in 2025 unless they ask to move on. Their salaries are reasonable and we need some veteran leadership. I believe they got some guarantees in return for taking pay cuts last year.

We'd be lucky to get a 4th but I'd settle for a 5th.

He's probably not going to be here in 2025 anyways. Saints need to get anything (he'll be 30 next July) they can get for him if at all possible.

After losing to the Falcons, having a 50 burger put on us from the Bucs IN OUR HOUSE, and now on this occasion, with Drew Brees (God Bless Him) in attendance, to have Sean Payton (the best head coach we ever had) come and punch us in the mouth like that, IN OUR HOUSE… and nobody gets fired today?

The Divine Lady Miss Gayle doesn’t give a flying fck about the fans, or about football.

Its the only reason Loomis is still in a job, he seems to pretty much have free run to do what he wants. Not attacking her personally but there should have been a proper succession plan in place to run the team post Tom Benson with someone who actually knew the game and what was required to run a franchise

Re: Kamara to Payton - "Save me from this sinking ship"
 

Kamara and a few other players started to try and take command of the offense 2 seasons ago, sometimes calling their own plays. Culminated in the last second unnecessary td against the Falcons. Dennis Allen complained to Loomis, and that's why Loomis wouldn't offer him what he wanted. He's gone.

Anything is better than nothing. Put him on the block let his market sort itself out.

Re: Kamara to Payton - "Save me from this sinking ship"
 

The guy has given us his all for 7 years and they are just sending him out there to get beat up on 2 yard gains.

This entire management is a clown show.

I don't think Gayle has the stones to fire DA and / or Loomis.
