Overview
- Kamara appeared at the Savannah Bananas game on Saturday and energized an estimated 101,000 fans at Neyland Stadium with a pinch‑running cameo and on‑field antics.
- Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said the club is evaluating how Kamara fits the roster and expects to reach a decision within about a week or two.
- Kamara enters 2026 with a roughly $10.4–$10.5 million cap hit, which makes him a candidate for release, trade, or contract restructuring before post–June 1 dead‑money rules change.
- His leverage has diminished after a 2025 season that ended with an MCL sprain and career lows in rushing and receiving, when he missed the final six games.
- New Orleans has added depth by signing Travis Etienne and will begin OTAs on May 27, creating a narrow window for the Saints to finalize their backfield plan.
