Alvin Kamara Sends Message To Saints With Cryptic Social Media Post

July 23, 2024

Alvin Kamara recently stirred speculation with a cryptic Instagram story featuring a photo of himself alongside former NFL star Marshawn Lynch. 

By tagging Lynch in the post, Kamara seems to reference Lynch's infamous "I'm here so I won't get fined" remark from the 2015 Super Bowl media day. 

This subtle nod hints at Kamara's approach to attending the New Orleans Saints' training camp while navigating his ongoing contract negotiations.

Under the NFL's new collective bargaining agreement, Kamara faces a $50,000 fine for every missed practice, which could accumulate to a substantial amount if he were to hold out entirely. 

By showing up to training camp, Kamara avoids these hefty fines, but his actual participation in practice remains uncertain. 

The trend of "hold-ins" has become more common, allowing players to be present without practicing fully, thereby avoiding fines while still sending a clear message about their contract priorities.

As Kamara, who turns 29 on July 25, prepares for the upcoming season with an $11.8 million salary, his social media post adds a layer of complexity to his contract situation. 

Despite being under contract through 2025, Kamara's future with the team remains uncertain due to his hefty cap number. 

His presence at training camp suggests he is avoiding fines, but his commitment to practice could signal ongoing dissatisfaction.
