I'm not sure how much of that I believe.
Alvin Kamara now on the trade block

I'd love to get him but what would it cost to bring him? probably too much. 

Most I'd be willing to give is a 3rd and a 4th. Sure he is gonna ask for a lot of money but it would be less than Yan, Kamara would have a bigger impact. We also made an above average center the highest paid player at his position at that moment, so...
Ozigbo Is our guy now
I would give a 2nd round pick for Kamara all day. That guy is a difference maker. Bree's is going to miss him.

He zigs while others lag
No one claimed fournette on waivers. He had negative value. Think we are better off with the backups.

Still, nothing can be worse than Toby Gerhart.

They want a 1st round pick for him and then you'd still have to pay him huge money... He wants the $16m per that McCaffrey got. That's a BIG No Thanks.
A 1st rounder and 16m a year for a RB with mileage on the odometer? Hell no, lol.
A RB that will be about equal(maybe worse) than the one you just got rid of, will be playing on a far worse team talent wise, and will only cost 4x as much and high draft picks.

Dave and Doug must be trying to kick in the door at the superdome right now.
Its crazy that not 1 team claimed him off waivers. It must be league wide known that he is an issue in the locker room and not worth the trouble he brings

Kamara about equal or maybe worse than LF?  Lmao
Kamara is a beast in the run and passing games.

I didn't know they wanted a 1 for him so it's a hard pass. He is worth the money. He averages around 80 catches a year. A career average of around 800 yds rushing and 700yds receving per year. on top of being a TD machine Just insane.

Add a few more reasons
37 TD in 3 years
Only 3 years worth of mileage
No team problems.

Kamara is legit.
As one said, he would be cheaper than Yan and he would definitely mak a bigger impact. I'd offer a 3rd and a 3 year 45 mil contract

Teams always start out with a high asking price

Agreed.  Fournette is not even in the same League.

Kamara on THIS team may be equal or worse.  Like I said, there is a "slight" talent gap comparing us to the saints.

Fournette would also be much better on the Saints than he was here.
So not only do you have to wonder about his MCL injury he suffered, but you're telling me he has chronic back issues? Epidural shots.. Makes that an even bigger no thanks from me.

Yeah, next years RB class is loaded as well
I am guessing Gryden ran the tape and saw what I saw: nothing special. Fournette struggled at finding a seam and at least to me had an air of eliteness that was not earned or displayed on the field. Good riddance! Give me Armstead!
Not claimed off waivers. maybe GM15 got tired of having to tell him what the play was in the huddle like BB5 did.
