the expectation right now is there is a good shot that you do not have Alvin Kamara with this team this next year. Whether that's due to retirement, whether it's due to Kamar ended up actually getting traded. I think Kamar is maybe just being a nice team friendly player.

Expected to depart Saints; Etienne's $28M deal signals backfield transition.

Kamara is expected to depart the Saints in 2025, either via retirement or trade, clearing the backfield for Travis Etienne. The Saints signed Etienne to a deal worth $28 million guaranteed (with $22 million in dead cap through the first two years), signaling a two-year plan centered on Etienne as the primary back. While Kamara has publicly stated he doesn't want to be traded, JJ Zachariason suggests he may be taking a team-friendly stance given the financial commitment to Etienne and the Saints' projected 3.2 PPG offensive improvement (fourth-biggest leap in the league), which would benefit Etienne's workload.
