The New Orleans Saints have star running back Alvin Kamara locked up for many years to come, reaching a five-year, $75 million contract extension with the three-time Pro Bowl running back, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Kamara receives $75 million in new money, on top of the $2.133 million he was scheduled to make this season, the final year of his rookie contract -- totaling $77.133 million over the next six years. The $15 million average annual value of the deal in terms of new money ties Kamara with Ezekiel Elliott as the second-highest-paid running back in NFL history -- behind only Christian McCaffrey. He's also the second-highest-paid running back in total value, behind Elliott.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Kamara will receive $34.333 million in guaranteed money -- the fourth-most for a running back in NFL history behind Elliott, McCaffrey, and Le'Veon Bell.
