LOCKER ROOM DRAMA: Alvin Kamara Reportedly Clashes with Saints Teammates Over Offensive Role

   

Alvin Kamara injury update: Saints RB exits game vs. Commanders

Tensions may be rising in New Orleans — and this time, it’s star running back Alvin Kamara caught in the middle of the storm.

According to team insiders, Kamara was involved in a heated exchange with offensive coaches and a fellow teammate during a closed-door session earlier this week. The dispute reportedly centered around his usage in red-zone schemes and what he sees as a diminishing role in the team’s evolving offense.

“He’s frustrated,” one source close to the locker room said. “Alvin still feels he’s the engine of this team, and he’s not happy with how things have shifted under Coach Kellen Moore.”

Witnesses say the argument escalated to the point where Kamara walked out of the offensive meeting early, refusing to speak to reporters after practice. One teammate reportedly tried to calm him down, but Kamara responded, “I’m not just a decoy. I’m still that guy.”

Head coach Kellen Moore later addressed the situation, downplaying the conflict:

“Alvin’s passionate. That’s what makes him great. We had a conversation, and we’re moving forward.”

Still, fans are starting to question whether deeper issues are brewing beneath the surface — especially as the Saints work to integrate younger backs and reshape the offense post-Drew Brees.

 

Kamara, 29, is entering a pivotal year in his career, with contract implications and leadership expectations mounting. Whether this was just a moment of competitive fire or the first sign of a larger fracture remains to be seen.
