It wasn’t long ago that this looked far from certain. There were even trade rumors about the running back. Ultimately, Kamara and the Saints worked out whatever was going on between them and he’ll be staying for quite a while.

Kamara has 37 total touchdowns in three seasons with the Saints so far. The 25-year-old accumulated 1,330 yards from scrimmage in 2019.
