The New Orleans Saints have agreed to a two-year extension with running back Alvin Kamara, a source told ESPN on Tuesday, confirming a report, an agreement that is worth approximately $24.5 million for the veteran who has 438 rushing yards this season.
Katherine Terrell came back to ESPN to cover the New Orleans Saints in the summer of 2022. She left the company in 2019 after joining in 2016 to cover the Cincinnati Bengals. Katherine is a graduate of LSU and a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, native, and she has covered the NFL since 2013. You can follow Katherine on Twitter: @Kat_TerrellKamara appeared to confirm the news on his social media account when he reposted a response to the initial report of the extension.
He was the last major contract the salary-cap strapped Saints had not addressed this year, which is something Kamara said he took note of earlier in the offseason. He missed the final practice of mandatory minicamp because of his contract but went through training camp as normal."I'm not worried about it. I'm here to play. I'm going to play. I'm going to perform. I don't got no illness. I don't got no mystery injury. I'm here.
Kamara has 111 carries for 438 yards and six touchdowns this season. He also has 34 receptions for 252 yards and another score.
