Many New Orleans Saints fans have been waiting to hear these words. SI.com's Albert Breer reported that the team has an offer for running back Alvin Kamara on the negotiating table. It's been previously reported that the two sides aren't close on a number, but the front office at least has made it known that they're willing to play ball. This comes days after Saints general manager Mickey Loomis joined Sirius XM NFL Radio and explained he was optimistic a new deal would be completed .  The 29-year-old Kamara has said he wants to play for New Orleans for the rest of his career, and Loomis has expressed that the feeling is mutual. Despite seeking a new deal, Kamara has not missed any training camp practices.  It makes sense that Kamara is seeking a new deal. He's likely looking for more long-term security than he'll get on his current contract, which has no guaranteed money remaining after this year. While he is signed through 2025, New Orleans could save a significant amount of money if he's released. He doesn't want to become a salary cap casualty. There's a lot of hype surrounding Kamara and the potential resurgence he could find with the Saints' new offensive staff. Many fans are excited to see what he can do in Klint Kubiak's system. A running back with the receiving skills of the former Tennessee Volunteer working in an offense better suited to his strengths has the NFL community anticipating a bounce-back year for Kamara.
