Alvin Kamara
 
Curious to hear if you all think he should be resigned knowing it won't come cheap.

Unless it comes out that he was playing half the year injured, I vote to let him walk. Take that money and address other needs like WR

EDIT: FA in 2021.

Let him walk. He could not produce this season.
Prove me wrong. Taysom Hill broke more tackles than Kamara did this season.

Can they franchise tag him?

He’s under contract for the 2020 season.

Alvin Kamara is UFA in 2021.

Let him prove something next year, if he looks the same then send him on his way.

Let's get together and plan to assassinate him. Would that help our cap?

Re: Alvin Kamara
 
Prove it, contract year. And it might not hurt at all to make a stealthy choice and draft a RB at mid or later rounds that's good enough to join the Kamara/Murray committee.

UK_WhoDat 01-05-2020 04:06 PM

Re: Alvin Kamara
 
I really liked Kamara.
But now I would let him go. He does not give us the confidewnce that he will be delivering.

ChrisXVI 01-05-2020 04:21 PM

Re: Alvin Kamara
 
I think the confusion stems from Kamara being eligible for a contract extension now; giving him the ability to hold out if he chooses.

Yeah.

I wonder what we could get for him in a trade

Sure wish we could have kept Boston Scott

Now that the season’s over I’m really curious if we’ll learn more about what’s been ailing Kamara this year. His sister alluded to the injuries after the game:

Most of us already knew this though.

Sean P force fed AK a hobbled player when he really didn't have to.

When healthy, he's special.

So trade Kamara for Jeaux Burreaux?

The Dude 01-05-2020 06:08 PM

Re: Alvin Kamara
 
He’s been too good until he got injured to give up on him. He will come roaring back. Conversation for another time.

Upgrade our guards. Use our #2 RB more often. Scheme better.

Team Taysom here. He's the goods. Now if we only had an offensive minded coach who wasn't afraid to do his job and coach Taysom up...

I'm good brother. Two small children and a career keep me busier than I've ever been. Try to check in when I can because I love the members and discussion here.

Lots to ponder this offseason......

or even a Wheel Burreaux.

Anything that when asked will carry the load.

Frankly, get rid if his ankle boithers hiom enougjh to spoil his game.

lee909 01-07-2020 12:45 PM

Re: Alvin Kamara
 
Trade him before the draft

You should still be able to get a 1st and high/mid round pick for him.

DO NOT PAY A RB
Especially a RB that cannnot carry 30 times a game and stay healthy and explosive for 30 times a game. Kamara is a great player, a great offensive assest. He isnt Adrian Peterson. Spend the money you would pay him on a top CB or second WR. Draft linemen and START RUNNING THE DAMN BALL

I don't think anyone would be silly enough to trade a 1st for Kamara when you've got some serious HB depth in the draft this year.

NOLA54 01-07-2020 01:18 PM

Re: Alvin Kamara
 
I believe Kamara has been injured most of the year
Give him another chance.

K Major 01-07-2020 02:36 PM

Never say never in this business but I don't see Sean Payton trading Alvin Kamara.

st thomas 01-07-2020 03:07 PM

Re: Alvin Kamara
 
There’s no doubt the guy were injured for a while But if he wasn’t injured in the last 4 games? And made a business decision then what . I know what. Payton knows what.

Re: Alvin Kamara
 
My belief is AK will be traded during the draft. I doubt the Saints would get a 1st round pick for him, but I can see the Saints using him to move up a few spots in the 1st round and gaining an additional pick or 2 later in the draft. I am predicting this because I do not think AK will play in 2020 under his current contract terms, and I do not believe the Saints will pay 15+ mil per season, which should be his approximate market value.

blackangold 01-07-2020 03:39 PM

Re: Alvin Kamara
 
Let him play under his contract in 2020. If he has a great year and shows he is special than sign him to a 15m per year deal.

RBs are not worth much in this league. It's all about scheme and O-line.

Although, if AK holds out this year, cut him (if the dead money makes sense) or let him hold out and walk in 2021.

Edit:
There is no doubt AK was making business decisions this year. Even in the playoffs the guy was running out of bounds instead of fighting for yards on 3rd down. If he is doing that during such a critical time, he will be worthless once he signs a big deal.

No chance. Payton loves him.

RefsRobbedUs 01-08-2020 11:49 AM

Re: Alvin Kamara
 
I think when it's all said and done he won't be traded, but there is that small possibility this is another Brandin Cooks situation. Cooke wasn't happy with his role but the Saints also made the deal in part because he was due a substantial pay raise the next year.

The Dude 01-08-2020 03:08 PM

Re: Alvin Kamara
 
The vast majority of you know more about football than I could ever learn yet it blows my mind that some of you otherwise rational and intelligent people don’t account for the fact he got injured early in the preseason.
He didn’t just all of a sudden start to suck or decide not to give 100%.
Dude was hurt all year and still broke 1000 yds.
Letting him go based on this year would be a mistake.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Kamara hold out for a new contract this off season.

Based on his numbers/stats for 2019, he'll lose if he so chooses to hold out.

He doesn't have a ton of leverage.
