Alvin Kamara is very likely going to play his entire career with the New Orleans Saints. That’s the absolute word after Kamara and the team agreed on a reworked deal this week, officially shutting down any lingering trade talk with the Denver Broncos and putting an end to a saga that just wouldn’t quit.
The Saints Made Their Move, And Kamara Is Staying Home
This reworked deal is massive because it solidifies Kamara’s future in New Orleans. The dude clearly wants to stay with the franchise that drafted him, where he’s already the all-time leading rusher. Even with the Saints signing Travis Etienne in free agency, a move that’s definitely gonna change Kamara’s role, he’s sticking around. NFL insider @RapSheet even said on #PMSLive, “I thought this was a pretty good deal for Alvin Kamara and the Saints.. He wanted to stay in New Orleans.” You gotta respect a player who wants to finish what he started, especially when he’s got that kind of history with a team.
The Broncos Dream Was Never Really Real, Let’s Be Honest
Despite this new deal, some folks just couldn’t let go of the idea of Kamara reuniting with Sean Payton in Denver. It was brought up constantly, even though the Broncos already re-signed J.K. Dobbins this offseason and drafted Jonah Coleman in the fourth round. Look, with the current state of both teams’ running back rooms, Kamara staying in New Orleans just makes way more sense. And honestly, it never made much sense for him to come to Denver, even with the Payton connection. Kamara has been an absolute beast during his nine NFL seasons, rushing for 7,250 yards and 61 touchdowns, plus catching 606 passes for 4,948 yards and 25 more scores. But let’s be real, he’s coming off what were easily the lowest numbers of his career in 2025, rushing for just 471 yards and averaging only 3.6 yards per carry. That’s probably a big reason why the Saints went out and snagged Etienne. While Kamara’s name still makes social media go wild, the Broncos never truly seemed interested in making that move anyway.
So there it is. The Kamara-to-Broncos saga is over before the season even truly begins. This new deal with the Saints should end those talks for good, letting both teams focus on their current backfields and what this upcoming season holds. No more guessing, just football.
