The Saints officially reworked Alvin Kamara's contract just a couple of weeks ahead of training camp... When the Saints signed Travis Etienne to a four-year $47.4 million contract, it was clear he would be the team's RB1 going forward... The veteran running back is no longer expected to touch the ball 20+ times a game... it gives Kamara a chance to be more explosive in-game.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Kamara shifts to complementary role with restructured deal; fewer touches but more explosive usage.

Kamara's contract restructured from $11.5M to $6M (with up to $8.5M in incentives) ahead of training camp, signaling a shift from RB1 to complementary role alongside new RB1 Travis Etienne. The source notes Kamara will no longer touch the ball 20+ times per game; instead, he'll be featured in play designs tailored to his skill set, reducing tackle volume and injury risk while maximizing explosiveness. Kellen Moore's vision for the Kamara-Etienne tandem will be revealed at training camp.
