Kamara is now holding out

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.
