What happened: Kamara said New Orleans is where he wanted to be after accepting the reduction. His reworked deal pays $6 million in 2026 and can reach $8.5 million through incentives.
Why it matters: The structure ties $2.5 million of potential compensation to incentive marks. It also retains a five-time Pro Bowler after the least productive rushing season of his career.
By the numbers: Kamara played 11 games in 2025, recording 131 carries for 471 yards and one touchdown. He added 33 receptions for 186 yards.
What to watch: Training camp will clarify Kamara's workload in the Saints' 2026 backfield.
