Alvin Kamara Rejects Trade Talk, Says He’d ‘Drink a Piña Colada’ Rather Than Leave Saints

His stance underscores that any trade before the Nov. 4 deadline would come down to the Saints’ calculus, not his preference.

Overview

  • The nine-year Saint told reporters he wants to stay in New Orleans and joked he would walk away rather than report to another team.
  • NFL Network reported GM Mickey Loomis spoke with Kamara after fielding trade calls, but Kamara disputed that account and questioned its origin.
  • New Orleans is 1-5, and the approaching trade deadline has fueled league interest and speculation about veteran moves.
  • Kamara is under contract through 2026, with $3 million guaranteed in 2026 and a cap profile that would make an in-season deal costly.
  • Managing an ankle issue on a maintenance schedule, he has 314 rushing yards with one touchdown and 22 receptions for 122 yards through six games.
