Is Alvin Kamara expected to attend training camp?

After leaving the team’s mandatory minicamp due to his contract dissatisfaction, the next question surrounding Saints running back Alvin Kamara is whether he will attend training camp. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has suggested that Kamara may possibly hold out of camp, but it remains uncertain whether he will indeed do so. Given that he is on his second contract, the daily fines for not attending camp would not be waivable, and the Saints will need to collect the money whenever he decides to show up.

Currently, Kamara has a $10.2 million base salary for this year, but his compensation package is set to increase to $25 million in 2025. The Saints are expected to rework his contract after the upcoming season. Kamara is seeking additional money and likely greater security before the start of the 2024 season, leading to ongoing negotiations for a revised deal between the two sides. However, as they have not yet reached a middle ground, the pressing question is whether Kamara will show up for camp if an agreement is not reached beforehand.
