Saints Excited to Get Alvin Kamara In The Fold

Wednesday, June 10, 5:40 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been non-committal about his status during this current contract standoff. Despite that, head coach Kellen Moore says he's excited to get Kamara into the fold. Kamara is entering the final year of his contract, and his long-term status with the organization remains unclear. The Saints signed Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year deal over the offseason. The expectation is that the Saints will move on from Kamara after this upcoming season, with Etienne locked up. It's a frustrating situation for Kamara, but it's never a bad thing to have two viable options in the backfield. Kamara won't be the every-down back, but the Saints will find a way to get both backs involved.

Terry McLaurin to Have More Versatility in David Blough's Offense

Wednesday, June 10, 9:25 AM

The Athletic's Nicki Jhabvala writes that "no one sounds happier" about new offensive coordinator David Blough's scheme than Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin. In his seven seasons in Washington, McLaurin has played for three other offensive coordinators with 13 starting quarterbacks. And in many of those circumstances, there have been plenty of questions as to why McLaurin wasn't involved more. But in Blough's offense, the 30-year-old said he'll "be used all over." "I think the multitude of formations and route combinations is going to give all of us flexibility to move around the formation, keep the defense on their toes, and have a lot of routes that may look similar at the stem but different at the top," McLaurin said last week. The former third-rounder in 2019 out of Ohio State couldn't get off the ground in 2025 due to injuries to both himself and QB Jayden Daniels, and he finished with career lows across the board in catches (38), yards (582), and touchdowns (three) in just 10 starts. Scary Terry could make for a great value pick for fantasy managers in 2026, though, with WR2 upside in a new scheme as he looks to bounce back in his eighth year in the NFL.
