Kellen Moore’s blunt 7-word take on Saints’ Alvin Kamara situation

The New Orleans Saints’ backfield experienced a significant change this offseason with the high-profile signing of Travis Etienne.

This move sparked intense speculation about the future of 30-year-old franchise icon Alvin Kamara, especially amid headlines about blockbuster trades involving major players. However, Kamara’s departure from Louisiana is far from certain.

On NFL Network’s Good Morning Football, insider Mike Garafolo explained that a recent contract restructure prevented the front office from using a post-June 1 cut designation on the veteran. Additionally, Kamara’s agent, Brad Cicala, clarified their intentions for the upcoming season, stating, “Look, we plan on playing for the Saints in 2026.”

This situation greatly influences how the coaching staff is approaching their offensive strategy, bringing clear direction to the Saints’ news. Kellen Moore, the head coach, offered a direct response on whether Alvin Kamara would remain on the roster for the upcoming season.

When asked by reporter Nick Underhill on X, he answered, “I think that’s how you always prepare.” Instead of getting tangled in financial details or ongoing front-office discussions, Moore is focused on designing a system that assumes his primary playmaker will be carrying the load.

This professional commitment took an encouraging turn when Kamara unexpectedly reported to the team facility. According to reporter Mike Triplett on X, the veteran surprised the team by arriving for Week 2 of voluntary OTAs—a phase of the offseason program he usually skips in favor of independent training.

While Moore mentioned he was unaware of any business discussions, he welcomed Kamara’s appearance on the field as a great sign for the team’s preparation.
