    No team is going to get AKs best after this. He's in it to secure his future, not competing to be the best RB1 in the league. So any team giving him a new deal is going to regret it.

    We've watched numerous episodes where we're told how much better this system looks in OTA's (without Alvin). But now we're told this system will not work without Alvin? We're supposed to forget all those years when Shanahan made stars out of previouisly unknow RB's. But suddenly, this offense will fall apart without Alvin Kamara. I have absolutely no clue how it's working for other teams, that are wasting their time trying to make this system work without an Alvin Kamara or Christian McCaffery. How the heck do they manage?

    Who in the world has said this offense looks better with Miller than it would with Kamara? The improvements being talked about have been in formations, motions, and how comfortable Carr has looked. You're just making stuff up.

    We're supposed to pay dude double digit mils for multiple years? No way. Play out the contact. Saints have all the leverage. If Kamara hits open market next yr (without having a good yr this season) he isn't making double digit mils per yr. Aaron Jones got 1 yr 7. Derrick Henry got 2 yr 16. Alvin hasn't run as well 3 seasons in a row. If we're going to offer anyone a new deal, it should be Paulson Adebo.

    DA and Loomis really have to keep this team afloat this season and build the roster in the off-season, just not much room for attrition right now, depth behind starters is pretty thin everywhere except CB.

    AK was seen on camera kicking an already knocked out man in the head. He’s lucky the NFL still allows him to play. He ought to be humble, thankful and grateful. But instead he walks out of practice (under contract) without even telling the coach.

    I enjoy these podcasts. When I look at my list of subscribed channels there is a little dot next to the channels with new content. The problem is, you have the jordy whatever his name is show on the same channel and when I see the little dot it's usually his show/podcast that got updated instead of this one. So, I have to surf over to this channel, open up the podcast link, and open up that playlist to see if there has been an update. I suggest you make another channel and put the stuff not directly related to the Saints on that channel.

    Alvin Kamara never had a 1k rushing yard year. He’s not even close to CMC. Saints best option is to trade him and get draft picks vice paying top dollar for a 30yr running back

    AK should realize he’s 29 and sign a 2 year 16 million dollar extension with 8 guaranteed

  • @mwganson
    @mwgansonАй бұрын

    Looking at these contracts in terms of average salary per year of the contract is a little bit misleading because often the salary balloons in the final year, a final year the player might never see. It makes the average look better, and maybe strokes the player's ego a bit, but that's about all it does. In AK's case you get to 15M per average year only if you include 2025, where he's set to make 22.4M in base salary and a 2M roster bonus (in addition to some other bonuses). Take that away and it's closer to 12.6M per year. You get to 15M per year by dividing the 75M total contract value by 5 years. Remove the 22.4M base and the 2M roster bonus that comes in 2025, and you get 75 - 22.4 - 2 = 50.6 / 4 = 12.65M per year if he were to get cut after the 2024 season, or at least that's what I get if I'm doing the math right.

    The only thing I can see making sense is an extension giving him 10M~ guaranties in 2025 and some guaranties in 2026. He's fear is playing 2024, getting hurt and cut in 25 (zero guaranties). That's his hand, he knows darn well he wont sign a 15M/yr contract at 30 yrs old. OBS: it would be crazy to think about Akeler as a replacement if Kamara asks too much? Dude can catch and run

    Organizations have taken advantage of their position with players forever. The Saints have film. They also know they put AK in a horrible position the past few years. They know this dude is not close to losing a step. They need to meet this man where he is if he"s asking for an extension. I feel it needs to be at McCaffrey's level. AK was ahead of CC when he was with the Panthers. The only reason for AK's dip is the position the Saints put him in. In this offense. He will elevate Carr. Don't make this player unhappy. He is a catalyst to this organization even keeping Season tickets.
