Last week, it was announced that the New Orleans Saints and running back Alvin Kamara came to an agreement on a restructured contract which ensures that the 30-year-old will indeed play this season and likely finish his NFL career in the black and gold.<\/p>\n
However, the Saints also signed former running back Travis Etienne during free agency in the offseason. Etienne is expected to do the heavy lifting and take over the starting role but it\u2019s one that Kamara will not walk away from easily.<\/p>\n
Kamara\u2019s former teammate Terron Armstead revealed on his podcast, \u201cThe Set\u201d, that the star running back is \u201chungry and pissed off,\u201d due his lack of production the past few seasons.<\/p>\n
So even with Etienne stepping up and getting the bulk of the touches, this will help to keep an aggressive Kamara to stay fresh and make a loud statement with his opportunities on the field.<\/p>\n
