One of the NFL's most puzzling offseason moves, or lack thereof, involves the New Orleans Saints and Alvin Kamara. The expectation has been that he will eventually be traded, yet the Saints have shown little urgency in making a move.
At this point, Kamara could understandably be frustrated, as it appears increasingly clear he is not part of the team's long-term plans.

Reports suggest that Saints insiders currently project Kamara as the backup running back behind newly signed Travis Etienne Jr. While the expectation is still that he will eventually be moved, that outlook only adds insult to injury at this stage. The Saints need to settle the situation by either trading him or releasing him.
