After signing Javonte Williams to a 3-year, $24 million contract, reports indicate the Cowboys could emerge as a serious suitor for New Orleans Saints star Alvin Kamara once the post-June 1 trading window opens.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Bleacher Report\u2019s Kristopher Knox recently highlighted Dallas as a potential landing spot for the two-time NFL All-Pro, noting that a trade after June 1 would save the Saints approximately $456,741 in cap space. Trading him before that date would carry a much steeper $7.6 million hit in 2026, making a post-June 1 deal far more palatable for New Orleans. While the Saints are unlikely to command a massive return for the 31-year-old veteran, Kamara\u2019s proven dual-threat ability should still generate legitimate interest from running back-needy contenders.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_1\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/banner_responsive_1_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/rockcms\/2024-09\/240915-alvin-kamara-wm-1249p-b0a493.jpg\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">A Decade of Excellence Meets a Rebuilt Cowboys Backfield<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Kamara has been one of the NFL\u2019s most dynamic playmakers since entering the league, spending his entire career with the Saints. He signed a 5-year, $75 million extension in 2020 and added a 2-year, $24.5 million extension in 2024. His combination of vision, burst, and receiving skills out of the backfield remains elite, even as he enters the later stages of his career.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_2\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/banner_responsive_2_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"auto\">For the Cowboys, adding Kamara would represent a significant statement. While Javonte Williams delivered a career-best season in 2025 \u2014 rushing for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns on his one-year prove-it deal \u2014 Dallas lacks proven depth behind him. The current group features Malik Davis and a pair of 2025 draft picks, Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah, neither of whom showed they were ready for consistent NFL contributions last season.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_3\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/banner_responsive_3_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Kamara\u2019s versatility would immediately address that weakness. His ability to contribute both as a rusher and a receiver would complement Williams perfectly, creating one of the more dangerous backfield tandems in the NFC.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">Trade Realities and Alternative Scenarios<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Of course, acquiring Kamara wouldn\u2019t come without cost. Even at this stage of his career, it\u2019s difficult to envision a team surrendering more than a mid-round pick \u2014 likely a fifth-rounder \u2014 given his age and contract. Yet for a Cowboys team looking to bolster its playoff push, the upside could far outweigh the investment.<\/p>\n<div id=\"js_adsconex_parallax_1\" class=\"\" data-type=\"parallax\">\n<div class=\"adsconex-parallax_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"adsconex-parallax_ad-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"adsconex-parallax_ad\" align=\"center\">\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_inpage_1\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/inpage_1_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"auto\">That said, other suitors remain in play. A reunion with former head coach Sean Payton in Denver has long been viewed as the most natural fit. Payton knows Kamara better than any coach in the league after five years together in New Orleans. However, the Broncos\u2019 backfield has grown increasingly crowded. After selecting RJ Harvey in the second round of the 2025 draft and re-signing J.K. Dobbins, Denver added Washington\u2019s Jonah Coleman in the third round of the 2026 draft. A Kamara addition there would create significant overlap, potentially complicating that reunion.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_4\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/banner_responsive_4_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">The NFC\u2019s New Headache<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Should the deal materialize in Dallas, the ripple effects across the conference would be immediate. A backfield featuring both Williams\u2019 power and Kamara\u2019s elusive, receiving prowess would force defensive coordinators to game-plan for multiple threats on every snap. The $75 million man, still operating like a cheat code in space, paired with a 1,200-yard, 11-touchdown rusher creates problems that few defenses are built to solve.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_5\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/banner_responsive_5_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"auto\">While nothing is finalized, the pieces are aligning. Post-June 1, the Cowboys will have both the cap flexibility and the roster need to make a move. For a franchise always hunting Super Bowl contention, adding a proven difference-maker like Alvin Kamara could be the exact jolt the offense needs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The NFC has officially been put on notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Cowboys have already upgraded their backfield this offseason, but they may not be done yet.
