Discussing the situation between the Saints and RB Alvin Kamara, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said that “there hasn’t been a lot of traction yet, on the Saints’ direction.”

Fowler adds that “there is some interest in potentially coming back there,” and suggests the two sides might be able to agree to a revised deal. Fowler’s commentary is convoluted, and New Orleans Football’s Nick Underhill points out that Fowler misinterpreted Kamara’s current contract numbers as well. Regardless, we believe Fowler is saying that Kamara would like to remain a Saint, but the team has not been interested in the suggested resolutions coming from Kamara’s camp. Per Over The Cap, the team would save only $376,000 by releasing him after June 1st. Beat reporters have recently opined that releasing Kamara would create the need for outside help at the RB2 spot. Retaining Kamara on a revised deal could benefit both sides.
