After weeks of tumultuous rumor mill circulation including extensive “extremely close” contract negotiations, trade rumors, and more, the New Orleans Saints and Alvin Kamara got their deal done on Saturday.
Sources: The #Saints & star RB Alvin Kamara have reached an agreement on a huge 5-year contract extension worth $75M in new money. He gets $77.133M overall and a $15M signing bonus. Kamara cashes in. Agent Damarius Bilbo of Klutch Sports did the deal.

A 5-year, $75M extension averaging out to $15M per year is far more than most expected.
