If an obvious choice doesn\u2019t emerge, then shipping a Day 3 draft pick to New Orleans in exchange for Alvin Kamara could be a worthy gamble. While he\u2019s set to turn 31 in July\u2026chances are Kamara can return to producing 1,000 yards combined as a rusher and receiver\u2026\u201dIn another report, Bob Rose of Saints Wire predicted, &#8220;Remember that the new head coach of the Bills is Joe Brady, who was an offensive assistant for the Saints during Kamara&#8217;s first two years in 2017 and 2018. Additionally, Pete Carmichael was brought on to be Buffalo&#8217;s offensive coordinator this offseason\u2026\u201dHe added, &#8220;Carmichael was Kamara&#8217;s offensive coordinator in New Orleans through 2023. Under that offensive staff, including Sean Payton of course, Kamara was among the most versatile and feared offensive weapons in the NFL.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Contract details and salary cap implications<\/p>\n<p>With today marking the post June 1 deadline, if the New Orleans Saints trade Alvin Kamara, the team gets to divide his $18.2 million dead money penalty across the next two seasons.If the New Orleans Saints are able to finalise a trade with another team today, the Saints will take a dead cap hit of $10.1 million this season and the remaining $8.1 million to 2027. This helps the team avoid paying him $11.5 million in active cash balance. <\/p>\n<p>How could the trade impact the teams?<\/p>\n<p>For the New Orleans Saints, trading Alvin Kamara will immediately clear the remaining $11.5 million cash balance off the books which will help the team to sign more rookie contracts.For the Jacksonville Jaguars, trading for Alvin Kamara would help out Trevor Lawrence as Kamara might immediately turn into the primary starting running back.For the Buffalo Bills, trading for Alvin Kamara might turn him into a reliable backup with James Cook being the main starter as Kamara could help Josh Allen score.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills linked to $24.5M New Orleans Saints star.(Image via X) The New Orleans Saints\u2019&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":835428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5136],"tags":[43867,5229,8995,3188,723,7310,8017,9004,151154,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-835427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-alvin-kamara","tag-america","tag-buffalo-bills","tag-fl","tag-florida","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-jaguars","tag-new-orleans-saints","tag-nfl-trade-rumors","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116671410902993082","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/835427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=835427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/835427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/835428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=835427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=835427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=835427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
