Alvin Kamara puts his house up for sale

Alvin Kamara wants a long-term deal, and if one isn’t forthcoming, the running back knows this could be his last season in New Orleans. With that in mind, reporters in New Orleans asked Kamara if he was willing to put his New Orleans home up for sale.

“You are looking for a house?” Kamara said with a smile, via Matthew Paras of nola.com.

Kamara’s 6,924-square-foot home, built in 2022, is on the market for $2.75 million. He calls himself a “serial entrepreneur” who dabbles in many things, including the real estate market.

“I wouldn’t say I had… an exact plan, but I had plans,” Kamara said. “I’m pretty deliberate about the moves I make with real estate. I have other properties in the city. So if I sell (the house) today, I have somewhere to be, so I’m in a good place.”

Kamara has two years left on his contract, with his $18.5 million salary cap hit in 2024 being the team’s highest. He has no guaranteed money through 2025 and a $29 million cap hit, so the Saints will certainly move on and recoup $18.9 million in cap savings if the sides can’t agree to a new deal.

In June, Kamara walked out of the team’s mandatory mini-camp on the final day to express his displeasure with the state of affairs in the talks.

Even though his future is uncertain, his immediate future is in his own hands.

“I feel like there’s no time to waste because let’s say I’m halfway through, if I play for 16 years,” said Kamara, who is entering his eighth season. “Or 10 years, I’m at the end of my career. I don’t want to waste time.

“I don’t want to sit here and say, ‘I have time. I have time.’ There’s no time, so I try to stretch it out. I try to do what I can to have the most success. And in this league, we measure success by Super Bowls and playing in February. That’s what I’m trying to accomplish.”

Kamara has never had a 1,000-yard season, but he did make five consecutive Pro Bowls to start his career. Last season, he had 694 yards and five touchdowns in 13 games.
