Alvin Kamara reports for Saints camp despite dissatisfaction with his contract
IRVINE, Calif. (AP) - Saints running back Alvin Kamara reported for training camp and participated in a conditioning test on Tuesday despite being unsatisfied with his contract.
Kamara’s decision to show up was a welcome sight for Saints coach Dennis Allen and general manager Mickey Loomis after the star running back had walked out of minicamp in June, unhappy about a lack of progress on negotiations toward an extension.
"I haven't had a conversation with him today, but he's here. I appreciate that he's here," Loomis said.
"I'd say 50 percent of our organization - players, coaches, administrators, scouts - feel like they're underpaid … and believe they deserve and want more money," Loomis continued. "But I appreciate that he's here. He's in great shape, like he always is, looking for a good season. But more importantly, I think for him, is he wants to win."
