Quick thoughts on the Kamara deal.

The Saints are telling you exactly how important he is with this contract. He's probably the most important player on this offense if you're talking formation versatility.
This is a good example. Kamara is split out wide here. The ball doesn't go his way but he runs a go route, "A GO ROUTE" to clear out the DB, to create space for Thomas. This is a RB doing this.
Offensively, he affects the game in every way and does it better than any other RB in the NFL. He's probably the best route running RB in the league (he'd be an elite slot WR) and a top 5 runner of the football when healthy (see his broken tackles from last year pre-injury).
The money came in a bit higher than I expected, but I'm not good at guessing that stuff (see the Peat deal). But the value is clear. Smart of the Saints to lock him up.
