Saints RB Alvin Kamara signs 2-year, $24.5M extension

alvin kamara celebrates

Alvin Kamara is staying with the New Orleans Saints.

The star running back, who recently denied rumors that he wanted to be traded, signed a two-year, $24.5 million contract extension that keeps him with New Orleans through 2026.

Originally reported by NFL Network and the New Orleans Times-Picayune on Tuesday evening, the news was seemingly confirmed when Kamara and his teammates posted reactions to social media.

“Yessssirrrr!!! AK all the way,” Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan wrote.

Kamara, 29, has spent his entire eight-year NFL career with New Orleans, which drafted him in the third round in 2017. He was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year that year and made the Pro Bowl in each of his first five seasons.

The Saints had a promising 2-0 start before losing five straight games. With the Saints potentially incentivized to shed Kamara’s salary in the offseason, it was rumored that Kamara would seek a new home during the season.

But on Saturday, Kamara said on X (formerly Twitter) that he had not requested a trade, calling it a lie.

Kamara’s new deal helps the Saints save about $18 million against the salary cap in 2025, according to NFL Network. He was on the books for a $29 million cap hit next year before the new deal.

This season, Kamara has taken 111 carries for 438 rushing yards and six touchdowns. He had scored just five, two and four touchdowns over the past three seasons since a 16-rushing TD campaign in 2020. He’s added 34 receptions for 252 yards and another score here in 2024.

In 108 career games (77 starts), Kamara has racked up 6,267 rushing yards and 60 touchdowns plus 539 receptions for 4,471 yards and 24 TD catches.
