Alvin Kamara makes surprise appearance at Saints workout as his future with club remains uncertain

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara unexpectedly showed up for voluntary offseason training on Wednesday, saying he was “literally” lying in bed a day earlier when he thought to himself, “Eh, I’ll go tomorrow.”Kamara, who usually skips optional team workouts to train on his own, and who had missed the previous week’s work at Saints headquarters, seemed to relish the opportunity to surprise teammates and coaches.“Obviously, a little bit unexpected,” coach Kellen Moore said.“It’s good to see him,” Moore added. “Excited to be able to spend a little time with him, see where’s he’s at.” Kamara, meanwhile, could get a better sense of the Saints’ plans for him as his 31st birthday and 10th NFL season approach.The career Saint is entering the final year of his contract, and uncertainty about his future with New Orleans has only grown since the club signed free agent running back Travis Etienne to a four-year, $52 million deal.

“As you navigate some of the business stuff, signing Travis and kind of navigating how all these pieces work together, that’s always a little bit of a challenge as you’re building your roster,” Moore said Wednesday.
