Though the New Orleans Saints haven’t at all indicated that they’re shopping star running back Alvin Kamara, the NFC South club should consider trading the five-time Pro Bowler while he’s still in his prime.
New Orleans has missed the postseason three years in a row, yet they continue to delay the inevitable full-scale rebuild. It’s not too late for GM Mickey Loomis to at least begin a retooling phase, and he could start it by trading Alvin Kamara.
The do-it-all star has exceeded 1,100 yards of offense in his seven NFL seasons. Kamara still hit that mark in 2023 despite missing four games for a New Orleans offense that struggled with consistency all year.
According to Over the Cap, the Saints are currently projected to be $72.893 million over the salary cap for 2025. Kamara’s cap hit for 2024 is $18.553 million, but the number jumps to a massive $29.077 million hit for 2025.
The Dallas Cowboys stand out as an ideal landing spot for Kamara, since he fits their “win now” timeline. The team lost top RB Tony Pollard to the Tennessee Titans in free agency, and they can’t possibly expect Ezekiel Elliott to turn back the clock to 2018.
A fair offer for Kamara would be a 2025 third-round draft pick, with the 2017 Offensive Rookie of the Year agreeing to a restructured deal that eases Dallas’ cap situation. Kamara should be keen on playing for a Super Bowl contender, and he’ll be the undisputed RB1 on an otherwise thin Dallas running back depth chart.
Why The Alvin Kamara Trade Helps Both Teams
Though Alvin Kamara is about to enter his age-29 season, he hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down whatsoever. The workhorse RB could easily put up over 1,500 yards of offense on a team with Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks.
The Saints would be wise to trade Kamara now and clear much-needed cap space for next year, and they have two capable starting RBs in veteran Jamaal Williams and 2023 third-round pick Kendre Miller.
Add everything up, and it’s a win-win trade for all parties.
