Saints running back Alvin Kamara has reported for training camp despite being unsatisfied with his contract. His decision to participate in a conditioning test on Tuesday was a welcome sight for Saints coach Dennis Allen and general manager Mickey Loomis.

“I’d say 50 percent of our organization — players, coaches, administrators, scouts — feel like they’re underpaid ... and believe they deserve and want more money,” Loomis continued. “But I appreciate that he’s here. He’s in great shape, like he always is, looking for a good season. But more importantly, I think for him, is he wants to win.”
“We’re looking forward to working with him, having him out here, having him practice and having him work,” Allen said. “That’s beneficial for all of us. Obviously, with the new system and the new offense, that’s important. I think we all understand there’s a business aspect to the game of football, but every indication that we’ve gotten is that he’ll be out here practicing.”“There was zero concern about what he was going to look like coming in here,” Allen said.
