The Saints held their first training camp practice today in Irvine, California, and running back Alvin Kamara participated, even though he’s looking for a new contract. There was speculation Kamara would not practice until he got a new deal, but the veteran says he did not want to get fined for missing practices.
“Hey, I ain’t stupid, I ain’t gonna get the money yet. I’m trying to get some money, alright? So, I was gonna be here,” Kamara said.
Kamara is hopeful he’ll sign a new contract before the regular season starts in September.
“I would love for something to get done, like I said. If it doesn’t, then, what can I do?” Kamara asked.
Kamara turns 29-years-old tomorrow, and this is his eighth season in the NFL. He’s under contract for next season, but the money is not guaranteed, and he would like to retire as a Saint.
“If there’s no commitment to years after this then, I feel like y’all pay attention to football more than me, you know what that means,” Kamara said.
Kamara rushed for a career 694 yards last season.
