Realistically a RB Kamara's age, about to turn 30 in June, could go down with a career spiraling injury or become completely ineffective at any time immediately. It seems like only about 10% of elite running backs can still be effective at age 31 so I would say that in 2026 its not just possible, but probable, that the Saints leading rusher will not be Alvin Kamara. Also, Alvin Kamara has an $11.5m salary for 2026 of which $8.5m is not guaranteed. If Kamara even has an off year in 2025, it would make no sense to retain him for 2026 to a normal sober GM. Kamara has been a great Saint but the stats are what they are on aging RBs. 90% somebody is taking over within 2 years.
