Kamara would prefer to and by all accounts will stick with the Saints in 2026, though it remains to be seen how that gets sorted out. Playing on a one-year deal that the Saints can't realistically terminate due to the resulting cap penalties, Kamara is on hand as a capable backup to Travis Etienne, who the Saints paid up for in free agency. Etienne's pay dictates that he start, but the better Kamara plays the more evenly he can force the work split between the two. Etienne is not a classic workhorse himself and has a considerable injury history, so it wouldn't be shocking if the Saints split the workload between Etienne and Kamara, at least for periods of time long enough for Etienne to catch his breath.
