Here’s some big news for any New Orleans Saints holding onto their No. 41 jerseys: Alvin Kamara has agreed to a five-year, $75 million contract extension with the Saints, keeping him in black and gold through at least 2025. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport first reported that the deal is done.
Having Kamara in the fold for the foreseeable future is a huge win for the Saints offense, especially once it’s forced to move on into life without Drew Brees at quarterback. Kamara and superstar wide receiver Michael Thomas figure to make life easy for any passer, making the inevitable transition a little easier — whether it’s Taysom Hill, Jameis Winston, or someone else entirely leading the offense from under center.
