There aren’t many positive things to say about the New Orleans Saints right now. They just lost the best head coach in team history. Their current starting quarterback is Taysom Hill. Most fans probably can’t remember the last time we saw Michael Thomas on the field. Their cap situation is a disaster.
At least they still have Alvin Kamara. However, there is one NFL analyst who believes they should trade Kamara to try and help out their cap situation.
Today, former NFL fullback Michael Robinson proposed an interesting trade involving Kamara while appearing on the NFL Network.
“I would say Alvin Kamara to the Arizona Cardinals. With Kyler Murray and that style of air-raid offense, if I was Steve Keim and Kliff Kingsbury, that would be somebody I’d go get if it was even possible. You talk about Alvin Kamara, 68 touchdowns in five seasons. A dude that literally thrives in space. He had the most rushing yards per game this year at almost 70 rushing yards a game. He can’t only run the ball in between the tackles. He’s great on the outside runs and he’s awesome in the passing game.
“That’s what Kyler Murray needs. When DeAndre Hopkins got hurt this year and he went out, he couldn’t lean on A.J. Green, he couldn’t lean on Christian Kirk, some of those other guys. If he had a running back he knew could win 100% of the time — I’m talking about Alvin Kamara — out of the backfield, I mean, what an insurance policy for that young quarterback to be able to sit on his back foot and allow Alvin Kamara to do what he does. If that happens, I think that would be amazing.”
I’m sure Saints fans wouldn’t be thrilled to see Alvin Kamara traded, but this would incredible to watch. The Arizona Cardinals offense would be one of the most dangerous in the league with Kyler Murray being surrounded by Kamara, Deandre Hopkins, and a developing Rondale Moore.
I don’t know what it would take to make this deal work, but if it becomes a possibility, the Arizona Cardinals should do whatever it takes to land Kamara. That offense would just be way too much fun to watch.
