How much money did New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara make this past season? And what are the Saints paying him in 2025?

The New Orleans Saints running back took to social media on Tuesday to weigh in on the process, writing that he'd like to see interim coach Darren Rizzi keep the job. Rizzi has interviewed once for the position, but also could be in demand around the league as a special teams coordinator if he's not retained.

Instead of drafting a running back, Sean Payton should consider getting Alvin Kamara in a trade with the New Orleans Saints.

When Rizzi took over after Dennis Allen got fired, Rizzi implemented some immediate changes for the Saints. One of those included making Alvin Kamara a captain, saying that he should have been one all year. Clearly, that spoke volumes.

Since the season ended, New Orleans has begun looking for a new head coach and has already interviewed big names such as Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady and Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. However, star running back Alvin Kamara has made his pick for who he wants very clear.

New Orleans has completed an in-person interview with Anthony Weaver (Dolphins) and Mike Kafka (Giants) is on Saturday. Mike McCarthy should be in next week. The Saints have also held a virtual interview with Joe Brady and had an in-person interview with Darren Rizzi. Kliff Kingsbury could be on the radar as well.

Several members of last year's coaching staff for the New Orleans Saints have already found new jobs. And others are in the process of interviewing elsewhere.
