Yep.

Super bowl or bust year. No sense in playing musical chairs at the RB position. Saints have very good RB's on the roster and familiarity with the system.

Shopping for another RB with similar skill set as Murray doesn't make much sense to me. If Leonard is smart (cleared waivers & can sign with any team), he'll stay far away from New Orleans as possible if he wants 15-25 touches a game. That ain't happening with Sean Payton.

Sure you can go find another RB however there aren't many who can do what AK can do.

He's special.

I love what Kamara brings to the team. His agent is a tough cookie though and may walk him right out of New Orleans for bigger bucks.

Kamara is going to have to ball out this year to justify the contract he just got

No, he doesn't. Everyone seems to keep falling into this sunk cost fallacy, beliving that a huge investment requires some huge jump in productivity to justify the investment.

Kamara's previous productivity is sufficient for the current top 5 RB market. So, he needs to do nothing more than what he's already done.

A quick look at the numbers already shows that it's smoke and mirrors accounting anyway. It's a 3 year, $36 million extension with 2 extra years and $40 extra million tacked on the back end. Kamara will either never see, or will have to restructure that back end money. So it's $12 million a year, 3 year contract, which is still not breaking the bank for a top 3-5 RB.

Just like everyone else, Kamara's key ability needs to be availability. Especially in the postseason. With both Murray and Ty Montgomery available, I hope CSP manages Kamara's touches during the season so that he can go and be special during the playoffs.
