Alvin Kamara News
Thursday, March 12, 11:29 AM
Andrew Siciliano wonders whether New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) will retire this offseason after an interesting question-and-answer session with head coach Kellen Moore on Kamara and new RB addition Travis Etienne Jr. on Thursday. Moore didn't specifically answer a reporter's question on whether the Saints expect Kamara to be a part of the team in 2026, other than saying Kamara "means a lot to us." When asked specifically if Kamara is considering retirement, Moore said, "I'm not going to get into all that stuff." The Saints restructured the 30-year-old's contract recently in a way that puts his future with the organization in question, and there are only more questions about Kamara after New Orleans signed Etienne to a four-year, $52 million contract on Monday. Kamara has ended the last two seasons injured, and if he wants to continue playing in the NFL, he could be doing so outside the Big Easy for the first time in his career.

Jaret Patterson News
Monday, December 1, 6:41 PM
Los Angeles Chargers running back Jaret Patterson carried the ball 11 times for 54 yards and a touchdown in the team's 31-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. After being signed to the active roster early last week, Patterson served as the primary back behind Kimani Vidal as the Chargers totaled 192 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Patterson looked decisive and scored his first rushing touchdown of the season as the offense relied heavily on the ground game following Justin Herbert's hand injury. Looking ahead, rookie Omarion Hampton's return from IR is imminent after his 21-day practice window opened last week, which would move Patterson behind Hampton and Vidal. Next Monday night, the Bolts face a Philadelphia Eagles defense that has recently been vulnerable against the run. However, Patterson's fantasy value depends entirely on Hampton's availability in Week 14. If Hampton returns, Patterson might not even see the field. If he doesn't, Patterson will remain a depth piece with a few change-of-pace carries.
