Well, that escalated quickly. On Monday, ESPN reported that Alvin Kamara had missed three practice sessions in what may have been an in-house holdout related to his ongoing contract negotiations with the New Orleans Saints.
On Tuesday, NFL insider Josina Anderson reported that the Saints would consider trading Kamara; a report backed up by The Athletic’s Jeff Duncan, which said that the Saints would move Kamara if they can’t reach an agreement on a contract extension. Duncan added that the Saints would seek a first round draft pick in trade compensation.
So how far apart are they?
