What happened: Alvin Kamara and the Saints have agreed to terms on a restructured contract that includes a pay cut, according to a report from FOX Sports. The deal keeps Kamara in New Orleans heading into the 2026 season.

Why it matters: The reworked terms close out months of speculation that Kamara's prior salary would push him out after the team added Travis Etienne to the backfield. His agent said in June that Kamara intended to play for the Saints in 2026, and this deal formalizes that outcome.

What to watch: Full contract terms and an official team announcement are expected to follow the report.
