No, Alvin Kamara did not request a trade from the Saints: 'That's a lie'
Don't believe everything you read on the Internet, even if it comes from a random fantasy football analyst with a couple thousand Twitter followers. Alvin Kamara had to take time out of his college football Saturday to say, no, he did not request a trade from the New Orleans Saints. He's traveling to Knoxville to see if Tennessee can knock out Alabama again this year.
If anything, Kamara would rather sign an extension to become a Saints lifer. Everything he's done this year has been in pursuit of that goal. Right now, the Saints are set to cut him in the spring rather than pay the non-guaranteed money left on his contract. He left minicamp early to put pressure on the front office. He didn't hold out of training camp to make good on his word and support his teammates. He's actively playing through hand and rib injuries to show he's committed to helping them win football games.
He wants to stay in New Orleans and be able to say he's spent his entire career with one team. Even if they've fallen into a 2-5 slump with poor coaching, injuries, and poor effort costing them games. If the Saints trade Kamara, it won't be because he asked them to.
