NFL News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Saints' Running Back Drama: Kamara & Etienne. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 6th, the New Orleans Saints flashed some real promise down the stretch last season under Kellan Moore, sparking hope for their NFC South Run into 2026. Their biggest offseason splash was grabbing running back Travis Etienne, shaking up the backfield big time. That move puts Alvin Kamara's spot in serious doubt. The 30-year-old posted career lows, with just 471 rushing yards, one touchdown, and 186 receiving yards. Analysts like those at ESPN are glued to what happens next, wondering if Kamara and Etienne can share the load into next year. Both are pulling in over $11 million this season, so Salary Cat Math is getting tight. Reports say Kamara, which straight-up retire, have traded, making any deal tricky as he heads into his contract's final year. His touches already dipped last season, and Etienne could cut them even more. Saints' brass face is a tough call, righted out together or cash in now, keeping that running back room the hottest drama in New Orleans football.
