METAIRIE, La. -- Although the first big wave of free-agent spending has passed in the NFL, the New Orleans Saints' biggest financial decision of the offseason is still looming.

Running back Alvin Kamara is heading into the final year of his rookie contract at the bargain rate of $2.133 million. So it seems inevitable that he will push for a long-term contract extension this summer.

Well the markets just been set

McCaffrey 4 year 64ml extension. 16ml a year.
Kamara going to want similar. Go back to a 3vheaded monster like 2009-2011

Why would he want similar? He hasn't shown he can take that workload, nor has he had similar production. His agent can't be that stupid. Melvin Gordon just got 8 mil a year. I could see AK getting 10+ mil a year plus more in incentives. He's worth that and deserves it.

His Agent will be asking for at least 14/15ml

Kamara played 3 games less

Cmc was the only weapon Carolina had so I believe his stats are gorilla over kamara

So when you combine the TDs, CMC leads in every category outside of return yds. But stats aren't the whole story here. There is much more telling data.

I'd be willing to give this more credit if Kamara had ever been an MVP candidate.

My point isn't Kamara has better stats but they are not far off. The idea he plays for 10ml in a world McCaffrey gets 16ml is silly.

Also the WR Caroline have getting no respect when saying CMC is only weapon. DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel are both very good players

but if you take off 2017 and only evaluate the past two years, there is no comparison. CMc leads by a wide margin in all categories, including yards from scrimmage by almost 1400 yards

We spent 50+ mil on Andrus Peat. Regardless of how much we think someone is worth, if Payton likes them, he'll want to pay them.

I personally think it's a bad idea, but unfortunately guys like Chris Ivory and Pierre Thomas dont grow on trees.

Neither do Alvin Kamara's. Before last year's injury, he was looking like the second coming of Gayle Sayers. That doesn't happen. I really want to see what he looks like this year if he's really 100%.
