The New Orleans Saints<\/a> have found themselves in an interesting running back situation in early March.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Saints officially added former Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> standout running back Travis Etienne Jr. to the fold on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the NFC franchise still faces a pivotal decision regarding its 30-year-old, five-time Pro Bowler and former third-round pick, Alvin Kamara.<\/p>\n

According to a recent trade rumor <\/a>involving Kamara, the Saints and the Seattle Seahawks<\/a>, it wouldn\u2019t be wise to rule out the possibility of spending the next leg of his career with the reigning Super Bowl champions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (Seattle) just need another dynamic weapon, and Kamara would give them that (it\u2019s a possible trade former Seahawks receiver Bryan Walters has mentioned in interviews with Bump and Stacy),\u201d Seattle Sports\u2019 Stacy Rost wrote Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019d love to have prime Kamara, of course, but Seattle could also use veteran depth out of the backfield and as a pass catcher.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t just offseason rambling \u2014 there\u2019s a real question about Kamara\u2019s future in New Orleans, and according to ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter, it\u2019s a situation other teams are monitoring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Kamara\u2019s product suggests he\u2019s declining with age (he finished the 2025-26 season with a career-low 471 yards rushing, 186 yards receiving, and only one total touchdown), his skill set is still alluring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether remaining patient until a clear hole opens up, using deceptive cuts to make defenders miss in the open field, or making himself useful as a receiver out of the backfield, Kamara can still be effective in the right situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Could that situation be Seattle? Perhaps, but the Saints would have to be willing to cut ties with Kamara for a deal to ever materialize. For now, the Tennessee product will remain with the Saints until the franchise decides on his future in New Orleans.<\/p>\n
