Will Alvin Kamara Retire?

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.

Jaylen Wright News

Jaylen Wright a Handcuff Option With Upside Going into Year 3

Sunday, March 15, 9:17 AM

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright only appeared in 10 games (one start) in his second year in the NFL with the Dolphins in 2025, carrying the ball a career-high 70 times for 288 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns on the ground. He added five catches on nine targets for 44 yards through the air. The 22-year-old fourth-rounder in 2024 out of Tennessee stands at 5-foot-10 and 208 pounds. Wright has plenty of game-changing speed to break big plays, but the problem is his volume will likely continue to remain limited in Miami's backfield behind do-it-all back De'Von Achane. The Dolphins will have a new offensive system under new head coach Jeff Hafley and with new quarterback Malik Willis in 2026, but with Achane still expected to see the lion's share of snaps and touches, Wright won't be much more than an upside handcuff option for those who draft Achane early. In addition to fighting for touches with Achane, the Dolphins also have second-year back Ollie Gordon II. In his two years, Wright has only had 537 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground on 138 rushing attempts.
