All is well between Alvin Kamara and Jameis Winston. There is no beef. There is no drama.
The New Orleans Saints backfieldmates do not hate each other. Nothing like that.
Kamara set the record straight after a hilarious video went viral during Sunday’s game against the Texans. He said that him and Winston were communicating about the game and suggested that everybody made much ado about nothing.
Me and [Jameis Winston] was talkin business. Y’all mind yours. Ain no pressure at all. Next ⚜️

The video in question appeared to show a passion-filled exchange between running back and quarterback. With absolutely zero context, the camera cut to the Saints sideline late in the fourth quarter of what ultimately became a seven-point loss.
Winston was fired up about something and Kamara just kind of shrugged back in his direction. As is with anything that Winston does, it was hilarious. He is easily the funniest player in the league, whether he means to be or not.
However, as comical as it was from an outsider’s perspective, the semi-heated exchange sparked speculation. Were Winston and Kamara conspiring against Derek Carr? Were they frustrated with the coaching staff? What was going on?!
We still don’t have a definitive answer. Kamara did not go any further with his explanation, other than to say that it was “business” and to suggest that everybody move on.
Unfortunately for Kamara, his statement did not clarify what happened. It only further adds fuel to the speculation fire.
A loss to Houston was not ideal for New Orleans. Perhaps there were some frustrations.
What were they talking about?! Why was Winston fired up?! Why did Kamara look defeated?!
We need answers!
(Let this be a friendly reminder that the players don’t actually owe us, the fans, anything at all whatsoever. But we can still demand answers!)
