Alvin Kamara: I couldn't be happier that Saints signed Travis Etienne
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Alvin Kamara expressed optimism about playing for the New Orleans Saints next season, despite not explicitly confirming his plans during an interview on Terron Armstead’s podcast.
- The Saints recently signed running back Travis Etienne to a four-year, $52 million contract, which Kamara welcomed as additional support in the backfield rather than competition.
- Kamara’s contract was adjusted this offseason to make it easier for the Saints to trade or release him after June 1, fueling speculation about his future with the team.
- Currently counting $10.45 million against the salary cap, Kamara may need to take a pay cut to remain with the Saints, but he indicated a strong desire to continue his career in New Orleans.
- Kamara praised the potential of teaming up with Etienne, comparing it to his previous successful partnership with Mark Ingram, and expressed confidence in replicating that level of efficiency.
