It seems as though when the Saints award their players with large amounts of money due to their exceptional play, those same players emphatically make their status known in glaring fashion. For instance, Michael Thomas became the highest paid wide receiver in the NFL in 2019. In the same year, he broke the single season reception record & became only the second wide receiver in NFL history to win Offensive Player of the Year at the time. Alvin Kamara becomes the second highest paid running back in the league in 2020. Once again, in the same year he winds up top 3 in all-purpose yards and leads the league in touchdowns with 21 total.
