NFL Rumors: Four Teams Reached Out To Saints About Alvin Kamara
This drama might have an anticlimactic ending
It appears the Alvin Kamara drama might prove to be short-lived.
The Saints, according to reports Tuesday, were open to trading Kamara as the sides reached a roadblock in negotiations over a new contract for the star running back. Given the 25-year-old is one of the NFL’s top dual-threat backs, it should come as no surprise he generated immediate interest from multiple teams.
Four teams reached out to New Orleans about the Kamara situation, per a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. But as it turns out, the three-time Pro Bowl selection and the Saints aren’t very far apart in contract talks.
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport provided another follow up Wednesday afternoon which suggests Kamara won’t be moving on from New Orleans.
We probably shouldn’t have expected a Kamara trade to begin with. The Saints, one of the leading Super Bowl LV contenders, are very much in win-now mode, especially when you consider the 2020 season could be Drew Brees’ last.
These factors didn’t stop folks on Twitter from running wild with theories about Kamara ending up with the New England Patriots, however.
