No team is going to get AKs best after this. He's in it to secure his future, not competing to be the best RB1 in the league. So any team giving him a new deal is going to regret it.

We're supposed to pay dude double digit mils for multiple years? No way. Play out the contact. Saints have all the leverage. If Kamara hits open market next yr (without having a good yr this season) he isn't making double digit mils per yr. Aaron Jones got 1 yr 7. Derrick Henry got 2 yr 16. Alvin hasn't run as well 3 seasons in a row. If we're going to offer anyone a new deal, it should be Paulson Adebo.

If we can get Renfrow at a minimum vet contact?? You do know that him n Carr have fire chemistry, WITHOUT a shitty coaching staff leading the way.

I'm a AK fan but the man hasn't done to much since brees left. Now we're gonna pay top money.

AK a Saint for life

We've watched numerous episodes where we're told how much better this system looks in OTA's (without Alvin). But now we're told this system will not work without Alvin? We're supposed to forget all those years when Shanahan made stars out of previouisly unknow RB's. But suddenly, this offense will fall apart without Alvin Kamara. I have absolutely no clue how it's working for other teams, that are wasting their time trying to make this system work without an Alvin Kamara or Christian McCaffery. How the heck do they manage?

Pay for performance, not expectations.

Put him on the PJ Williams contracts, evaluate year by year lol

DA and Loomis really have to keep this team afloat this season and build the roster in the off-season, just not much room for attrition right now, depth behind starters is pretty thin everywhere except CB.

What about Mickey Loomis and Alvin taking off someone said Loomis doesnt like that sort of thing? Making the team look bad. And making Dennis look bad.

Alvin Kamara never had a 1k rushing yard year. He’s not even close to CMC. Saints best option is to trade him and get draft picks vice paying top dollar for a 30yr running back

I don’t understand the walking out of practice AK was suspended last year he wasn’t available for the Green Bay game which the Saints might have won if he was there.

I enjoy these podcasts. When I look at my list of subscribed channels there is a little dot next to the channels with new content. The problem is, you have the jordy whatever his name is show on the same channel and when I see the little dot it's usually his show/podcast that got updated instead of this one. So, I have to surf over to this channel, open up the podcast link, and open up that playlist to see if there has been an update. I suggest you make another channel and put the stuff not directly related to the Saints on that channel.

The only thing I can see making sense is an extension giving him 10M~ guaranties in 2025 and some guaranties in 2026. He's fear is playing 2024, getting hurt and cut in 25 (zero guaranties). That's his hand, he knows darn well he wont sign a 15M/yr contract at 30 yrs old. OBS: it would be crazy to think about Akeler as a replacement if Kamara asks too much? Dude can catch and run

Coming back to this episode and it's funny that Brandon called the Saints signing a CB and S @ 31:00 We know Dennis can't help himself getting more and more pass defenders.

AK was seen on camera kicking an already knocked out man in the head. He’s lucky the NFL still allows him to play. He ought to be humble, thankful and grateful. But instead he walks out of practice (under contract) without even telling the coach.

AK should realize he’s 29 and sign a 2 year 16 million dollar extension with 8 guaranteed

"If you take Alvin out of this offense I don't know how its going to work." Is why they should give him the extension.

Looking at these contracts in terms of average salary per year of the contract is a little bit misleading because often the salary balloons in the final year, a final year the player might never see. It makes the average look better, and maybe strokes the player's ego a bit, but that's about all it does. In AK's case you get to 15M per average year only if you include 2025, where he's set to make 22.4M in base salary and a 2M roster bonus (in addition to some other bonuses). Take that away and it's closer to 12.6M per year. You get to 15M per year by dividing the 75M total contract value by 5 years. Remove the 22.4M base and the 2M roster bonus that comes in 2025, and you get 75 - 22.4 - 2 = 50.6 / 4 = 12.65M per year if he were to get cut after the 2024 season, or at least that's what I get if I'm doing the math right.

6 win season coming up

Dude gets suspended the start of last season for being a goon and holds out this year!? Deuces

I wouldn’t be surprised if AK played his last game with the Saints. Walking out under contract without telling the coach does not fit the Saints’ culture.

I feel like Chase Young is either gonna go down in saints history as a bum FA whiff or a massive steal and theres no in between

“It’s business, not personal, Sonny” Say what you want about Belichek but he was always willing to let someone go sooner than later and it worked out pretty well for him. Not my money but I’d offer $12 million guaranteed for next year and then time to move on

The Saints have a whole lot of the same type of players.. injury-prone ,, under performers, or aging players ..

Giving Kamara a better contract than Derrick Henry would be NASTY work. Give the same contract and AK should be more than happy. End of discussion.

The Saints going 10-7 the D going to win 3 or 4 games by themselves

It would be stupid of the Saints to install this offense and not have AK on the team!!!

This was depressing and discouraging. Sounds like we are going to suck. Again.

Please guys stop mentioning MT . He is gone for good !

he's gonna want big money, yet he aint been BIG since sean left. let him go.

WHO DAT

It’s kind of a shame that RB’s are out here fighting tooth and nail for a 12m dollar bag

Organizations have taken advantage of their position with players forever. The Saints have film. They also know they put AK in a horrible position the past few years. They know this dude is not close to losing a step. They need to meet this man where he is if he"s asking for an extension. I feel it needs to be at McCaffrey's level. AK was ahead of CC when he was with the Panthers. The only reason for AK's dip is the position the Saints put him in. In this offense. He will elevate Carr. Don't make this player unhappy. He is a catalyst to this organization even keeping Season tickets.

Kamara is STILL the best running back for the Saints. Why explore the unknown when you have a bonafied athlete on the roster? Stop playing and give the man what he want.

Too many people pocket watching. How bout you take a pay cut at work.

Kamara is BETTER THAN ALL THOSE dudes, even McCaffrey!!! They have to honor the fact that the offense was TRASH, and that's not on AK!!!
