Trade rumors no more as Alvin Kamara lands big contract with Saints

RB Alvin Kamara and the Saints have reached agreement on a new five-year contract worth $75 million in new money.

Fantasy Impact: 

Rumors and speculation were floating that the Saints were maybe discussing trading Kamara, but it was always more likely Kamara would get a new contract from the Saints, who always tend to kick the salary cap can down the road. The deal includes a $15 million signing bonus. As we saw last season, even with Latavius Murray in the mix, Kamara's workload really isn't diminished and this contract only furthers that development. Kamara clocks in at No. 7 on our Week 1 running back board against an improved Tampa Bay defense.
