Alvin Kamara's workload may have been decreased following the signing of Travis Etienne for $52 million. Some have speculated that Kamara may retire rather than be traded or share carries with Etienne. ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported that there are "questions around the league" regarding Kamara’s potential to be traded. The Saints signed Etienne on a four-year, $11 million deal for an average annual salary of $13 million. Despite not being named to the Pro Bowl in his first five seasons, Kamara has been a standout player in the NFL.
