The player was asked about a report indicating that Saints general manager Mickey Loomis had reached out to him to ask if he had any place he wanted to go. Kamara responded with surprise, indicating that he was not aware of such a conversation. Kamara also mentioned that, in case the team contacted him for a possible trade, he would remain calm and wait for the necessary instructions. The running back signed a contract extension that will keep him in New Orleans through the 2026 season. Kamara, who turned 30 in July, has been linked to several teams due to speculation, but remains focused on his performance. Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has also been mentioned in trade rumors. Olave acknowledged the media buzz and attributed it to the team’s situation, which currently has a 1-5 record. It’s part of the business, man. It’s been like that all year, in the offseason. Even now, I haven’t been on social media much, but I know there’s a lot of talk now that we’re 1-5. Olave, who had a conversation with the team staff, stated he felt confident about his future in New Orleans, but preferred to keep the details private. Regarding the players’ physical condition, Kamara, who has been dealing with an ankle injury, did not practice on Wednesday but returned to practice on Thursday as part of a maintenance program. He has participated in all six games, accumulating 83 carries for 314 yards and a touchdown this season. Olave, who was limited in Wednesday’s practice due to a hip injury, has recorded 39 receptions for 342 yards and a touchdown so far this season.
