Christian McCaffrey won’t be the one celebrity working again who’s moved earlier than the NFL commerce deadline passes.
There’s some commerce chatter surrounding Alvin Kamara as Nov. 1 nears. The Saints clearly shouldn’t think about a full-blown firesale like another groups across the league, however at 2-5 on the season, it would profit New Orleans to look forward to the longer term. And so far as invaluable commerce chips go, Kamara is among the premier choices on the Saints’ roster.
One of many extra important Kamara commerce experiences got here courtesy of Sports activities Illustrated’s Albert Breer, who floated a possible touchdown spot for the five-time Professional Bowl choice primarily based on intel he acquired from an nameless NFL basic supervisor.
“There have been conflicting experiences on Alvin Kamara, however one GM advised me he thought the Saints would think about shifting him to the Eagles if Philadelphia provides them again the first-rounder they traded in April,” Breer wrote.
“The Saints are in an attention-grabbing spot, with a really proficient roster and a file that doesn’t replicate it. And so Mickey Loomis has acquired calls. Whether or not he’d be keen to essentially pay attention on Kamara or Michael Thomas stays to be seen. However there are some second-tier varieties similar to Nick Vannett and Marquez Callaway who might be moved.”
Philadelphia acquired the aforementioned first-rounder in an eight-pick commerce with New Orleans again in April. The Eagles nonetheless would have their very own first-round choose subsequent yr in the event that they made this hypothetical commerce with the Saints and Kamara is beneath contract via the 2025 season. This isn’t a transfer Philly wants to make, however basic supervisor Howie Roseman by no means has been afraid to shake issues up.
As for the right here and now, the Eagles on Sunday will host the Pittsburgh Steelers, whereas the Saints are set to welcome the Las Vegas Raiders to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
