Reports: RB Alvin Kamara staying with Saints on reworked contract

Reports say running back Alvin Kamara is staying with the New Orleans Saints after restructuring his contract for the 2025 season. His agent, Brad Cicala, told NFL Network on Wednesday that the team and player aimed for Kamara to remain and retire in New Orleans, though the financial terms were not disclosed. The report notes Kamara was set to earn up to $11.5 million in base salary in 2026, after the Saints renegotiated the deal in March for salary-cap reasons; $3 million of that amount was guaranteed in 2025. Kamara played 11 games last season, all starts, totaling 471 rushing yards on 131 carries and one touchdown, while also catching 33 passes for 186 yards with no scores, all career lows. With the Saints signing Travis Etienne to a four-year contract worth more than $12 million annually in the first three years, there was speculation Kamara could be headed out. The article adds that Kamara turns 31 on July 25 and has spent his entire career with the Saints after the 2017 third-round selection.
