The New York Giants are reportedly looking to trade for New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara as they face ongoing issues in their backfield. After a disappointing performance in Week 6 against the Saints, Kamara’s familiarity with the Giants could make him an attractive target should the Saints become sellers before the trade deadline. Kamara, currently on a one-year, $6 million contract, has been performing well this season, increasing his appeal. The Giants have experienced turmoil in their running back situation, including the benching of starter Cam Skattebo and the release of Najee Harris. As the November 10 trade deadline approaches, the Giants may pursue Kamara to strengthen their running game.
