What happened: Kamara and the Saints have agreed to a restructured contract that keeps him in New Orleans, according to Terron Armstead and Nick Underhill. The move resolves speculation that Kamara's high salary could make him the odd man out after the team added Travis Etienne to the backfield.

Why it matters: A player of Kamara's stature choosing to take less money to stay put, rather than push for a trade or test free agency, says he still views himself as the engine of that offense. If the Saints wanted to hand the job to Etienne outright, this is the move that stops it from happening.
