Alvin Kamara looms as Saints' next big contract decision

CMC has proven to be able to handle a full workload, Kamara got hurt when his usage went up. He is worth around 10m nothing more.

I'm thinking more of 7 to 9 mil max.

Pffft..........you might not like it, but he's worth more that that. Devonta Freeman made over 8 last year. Melvin Gordon is making 8 mil per the next 2 seasons guaranteed. He's far better than either of those guys.

On the flipside I don't think he's worth Drake money 8.5 or Henry at 10.5. Not better than Cook in Minny either. Tried that experiment and didn't work, Kamara isn't a 3 down back. More of a specialty role from what I see. Gonna depend on the worth of that role.

Definitely worth more than Drake. Henry is debatable. He didn't break out until this past year honestly. Cook is a beast, but he has problems staying healthy.

Sorry but that is an incorrect assumption. In 2019 he did not exceed 2018 snap counts, carries or receptions which negates utilization as an injury driver.

He had knee issues in college but last season was a high ankle sprain.
