Overview
- Kamara showed up to voluntary organized team activities and took part in individual drills and a second-team walkthrough while spending most of the session on the sideline.
- His agent told NFL Network that Kamara plans to play for New Orleans in 2026, and Kamara said he has "no beef or bad blood" with the club.
- The franchise still views his status as unresolved because a recent contract tweak and his roughly $10.4–$10.5 million 2026 cap hit produce only modest immediate savings from a cut or trade.
- Head coach Kellen Moore said Kamara "can fit in really well from an offensive standpoint," even after the Saints signed Travis Etienne to a four-year deal that created overlapping starter-level pay at running back.
- A clearer decision could come at the next calendar milestones, with the team likely to consider a restructure, trade, release, or a complementary multi‑back role before mandatory minicamp and training camp.
