NFL Rumors: Bills Targeted Alvin Kamara in Trade Talks, Were Rejected by Saints

Ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, the Buffalo Bills are in the market for a running back, and they seem to have targeted one of the best players available at the position.

The Buffalo Bills inquired about the New Orleans Saints' running back, but they were turned down.

Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reported that the Saints want a similar deal to the one the Carolinas received for Christian McCaffrey.

The San Francisco 49ers gave Carolina a second-, third- and fourth-round pick and a fifth-round pick in the next two drafts.

The unrestricted free agent position will not be filled until the year 2026. He has a base salary of $1 million, which makes him a good target for teams looking for help in the backfield.

With a $27 million cap hit, Kamara's base salary jumps to $22.4 million in 25 years. He must be paid by any team that acquires him.

He has been a member of the New Orleans Saints for six years and has earned five Pro Bowl selections. He has rushed for 351 yards on 77 carries and caught 24 passes for 191 yards.

The Bills need all the help they can get in the backfield.

Quarterback Josh Allen leads the team in rushing yards with 257 yards on 47 carries, while running back Devin Singletary leads the team in rushing yards with 258 on 57 carries. The two running backs, James Cook and Zack Moss, have combined to run for 97 yards.

The Bills are not the only team interested in the player. The Philadelphia Eagles have been linked to the veteran running back a lot.

If Buffalo strikes out on Kamara, they could look into acquiring a kicker from the Cleveland, Los Angeles, and Washington Commanders.
