Perhaps the Chiefs can find that boost via a trade for New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara.<\/p>\n<section><\/section>\n<h2>Chiefs Trade Pitch Lands Saints RB Alvin Kamara Before Deadline<\/h2>\n<h3>Trade Deadline Could Present Opportunity for Alvin Kamara, Chiefs<\/h3>\n<p>A five-time Pro Bowler and the 2017 Offensive Rookie of the Year, Kamara is a veteran on a rebuilding Saints team. They could be on the verge of a hard reset. If so, the Chiefs could, and perhaps should, get involved in pursuing a trade for Kamara.<\/p>\n<p>The Saints are 1-5 entering Week 7, and they have been a target of contending teams.<\/p>\n<p>This Last Word on Sports trade pitch would bring Kamara to KC amid outside lobbying. The trade deadline is on November 4 at 4 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chiefs get:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Alvin Kamara<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Saints get:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">2026 fourth-round pick<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kamara, 30, has 314 yards and 1 touchdown on 83 carries this season. He has another 122 yards on 22 receptions as a threat out of the backfield.\u00a0 He is signed through 2026 on a two-year, $24.5 million contract.<\/p>\n<h3>Chiefs Urged to Trade for Saints RB Alvin Kamara<\/h3>\n<p>Kamara is tracking for a career-worst season from scrimmage in the Saints\u2019 24th-ranked offense, but a move to the Chiefs could jumpstart his season and help ease the burden on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.<\/p>\n<p>CBS Sports\u2019 Cody Benjamin noted Mahomes has been left to \u201cdo a little too much.\u201d He added that the Chiefs are not \u201cready to trust\u201d their \u201cbruising backs,\u201d Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs also have Brashard Smith, but he is a rookie and a converted receiver.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-dnt=\"true\" data-width=\"550\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Mahomes keeps it for the rushing TD!<\/p>\n<p>DETvsKC on NBC<br \/>\nStream on @NFLPlus + Peacock pic.twitter.com\/MaGwHRiiuL<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NFL (@NFL) October 13, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cKamara may want to retire with the New Orleans Saints, but what if the reigning AFC champions call with an offer to join a potential Super Bowl bid?\u201d Benjamin wrote on October 14.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKamara, meanwhile, has precisely the kind of pass-catching tools that could make him a dream Swiss Army knife for Andy Reid, right alongside Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown and Co. Would he really turn that down to stay in a rebuild?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has also served his six-game suspension.<\/p>\n<p>A trade for Kamara could put the Chiefs over the top in their quest to reach and, more importantly, win another Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<h3>Chiefs Face Major Hurdle in Potential Alvin Kamara Trade Pursuit<\/h3>\n<p>Benjamin\u2019s note about Kamara\u2019s plans is noteworthy. It serves as one significant hurdle the Chiefs would face in any trade scenario.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile New Orleans will continue to get calls \u2014 and time will tell how receptive they are to trading starters \u2014 Kamara isn\u2019t expected to go anywhere,\u201d NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport wrote on October 11.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSources say Kamara told Saints general manager Mickey Loomis that he\u2019d like to remain with the franchise through the rest of his career, which was the goal when he signed a two-year, $24.5 million extension last October. Kamara is signed through 2026 and will have a decision to make prior to next season about if he wants to continue playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote data-dnt=\"true\" data-width=\"550\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Insiders on @NFLGameDay Kickoff with @TomPelissero and @MikeGarafolo: #Jets will get trade calls while #Saints RB Alvin Kamara does not want to go anywhere; #Chargers are in the market for a RB after two big injuries; #Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb has a chance to return next week. pic.twitter.com\/SCAMLxJqP6<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 12, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Moreover, the Chiefs have $2.9 million in cap space, per Over The Cap.<\/p>\n<p>They could always create spaces, as teams are often wont to do.
