Alvin Kamara confirms how committed he is to the New Orleans Saints amid contract situation

The New Orleans Saints are seemingly landlocked in negotiations with star running back Alvin Kamara.

They don't seem to be shifting much as training camp begins, but Kamara is not holding out when it comes to hitting the practice field. He wants to be present alongside his teammates and knows that the NFL is a business.

The star running back wants a reworked deal with more guaranteed money for this year, according to reports, but the two sides have not come to an agreement quite yet. A recent social media post from Kamara gives fans some hope last week as far as a new contract goes.

It's clear that the situation won't prevent Kamara from doing what is best for the team and New Orleans. He wants to help the team win and see fans happier than they have been in recent years.

Kamara also made sure to note that there have been some folks who have disappeared amid the disappointment. The veteran was immensely honest while talking to the media on Wednesday afternoon.

Kamara chose to report for training camp and is practicing in full. He impressed spectators on Wednesday.
