Saints bring back Alvin Kamara for tenth season under new contract

Alvin Kamara will continue with the New Orleans Saints after signing a reworked contract worth $6 million, with incentives possibly raising his earnings to $8.5 million for the 2026 season. Though Kamara’s performance has declined in recent years, the Saints believe he can complement new signing Travis Etienne Jr. in the backfield. Kamara expressed his desire to remain with the team amid trade speculation, which included discussions with GM Mickey Loomis. Following injuries that led to a challenging last season, Kamara's return aims to bolster a run game that struggled significantly, ranking 28th in the league.
