The New Orleans Saints have finalized a two-year contract extension with running back Alvin Kamara, keeping him with the team through the 2026 season. The deal is valued at $24.5 million, with $22 million guaranteed, plus potential incentives that could increase its total to $26 million. This extension resolves previous contract disputes, during which Kamara missed a mandatory minicamp but maintained his commitment to the team. Despite trade rumors, Kamara expressed his desire to retire with the Saints, emphasizing his intention to remain in New Orleans. Kamara, a key player in the Saints' offensive lineup, has accumulated 438 rushing yards, six touchdowns, and 252 receiving yards this season. The Saints' decision to extend Kamara's contract comes amid a challenging season with a 2-5 record, surprising some analysts who expected them to become sellers at the trade deadline.
