The Saints will make a decision on Alvin Kamara before the NFL trade deadline

Alvin Kamara isn't going anywhere.

According to a report from NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the New Orleans Saints agreed to a two-year contract extension with Kamara worth $24.5 million two weeks before the NFL trade deadline.

After the Denver Broncos defeated the Saints 33-10 Thursday Night Football Last week, Kamara shared a long hug with his former trainer Sean Payton. That sparked speculation that Kamara wanted to be traded to the Broncos.

Kamara quickly dismissed these rumors by stating on social media that he did not ask for a trade. The 29-year-old running back also confirmed that he is negotiating a contract extension with his team.

Kamara obviously didn't want to leave New Orleans, and his extension “puts the 2017 third-round pick in a position to retire a Saint,” Garafolo said.

Kamara is now under contract with New Orleans through the 2026 season. He has totaled 10,738 yards of offense and scored 84 touchdowns in 108 career games for the Saints.

Denver, meanwhile, will move forward with Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime at running back. The Broncos also have Blake Watson on the practice squad and Tyler Badie on injured reserve.
