Saints Weigh Alvin Kamara’s Future as Chiefs and Cowboys Surface as Possible Trade Fits
Post–June 1 cap math makes a summer move more feasible.
Overview
- Bleacher Report analysts flagged the Chiefs and Cowboys as the most likely destinations if New Orleans shops the veteran running back after June 1.
- Trading Kamara after June 1 would save the Saints about $456,741 in 2026 cap space, while a move before that date would add roughly $7.6 million, according to the analysis.
- Kamara said on The Set podcast that he is willing to share touches with Travis Etienne and is excited to play together.
- The Saints built a crowded backfield by signing Etienne to a four-year, $48 million deal and keeping younger options such as Devin Neal, Kendre Miller, and Audric Estimé.
- Kamara remains under contract with a void that could make him a free agent next offseason, and any trade would likely return only a late Day-3 pick.
