Not much has remained consistent for the New Orleans Saints since the end of the Drew Brees and Sean Payton era, but the dominance of Alvin Kamara has.
Kamara finished this season with 228 carries for 950 yards and six touchdowns. He also caught 68 passes for 543 yards and two more scores. It was almost his first career 1,000-yard campaign and it was short due to injury. While he is one of the team's highest paid players, it is safe to say that it is money well spent.
This is how much the star running back made this season, according to the experts with OverTheCap:
This past year was the final season of his rookie extension he signed back in 2020.
His base salary in 2024 was $4,710,000. He also received a bonus of $1,000,000 with an extra $500,000 for each game that he played in (14). He was given a $100,000 workout bonus for participating in the offseason workout program.
Kamara's total cap hit amounted to $16,193,236, when accounting for the prorated signing bonus of $9,971,471.
Kamara signed a two-year, $23.5 million contract extension back in October of 2024 that will keep him in New Orleans through 2026.
His base salary will be $2,990,000 and then his prorated signing bonus of $7,133,471 will push his cap hit to $10,123,471.
