No trade clauses are quite common in player contracts. That said, Kamara doesn't have one and doesn't need one. What he does have is the ability to retire instead of going to that other team. And that is exactly what he has stated several times when asked about possibly playing elsewhere other than New Orleans. He has repeatedly said whenever his time ends with the Saints he's going to Africa and retire. His mother is from Liberia and that's where he plans to go live. Kamara has been extremely involved in real estate investments and is pretty much set for life as opposed to many other players.
