In a stunning move that’s sure to shake up the NFL landscape, star running back Alvin Kamara is headed to Dallas. The former New Orleans Saints standout has officially signed a four-year, $109 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys, sources confirmed early Saturday morning.
The deal not only makes Kamara one of the highest-paid running backs in NFL history, but it also signals a major shift in Dallas’ offensive strategy moving forward.
Kamara, 29, spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Saints, earning five Pro Bowl selections and establishing himself as one of the league’s most dynamic and versatile backs. Known for his quick bursts, elusive cuts, and ability to catch passes out of the backfield, Kamara brings a unique skill set that Cowboys fans haven’t seen since the prime years of Ezekiel Elliott.
“I’m grateful for everything New Orleans has meant to me, but I’m beyond excited to begin this new chapter with the Cowboys,” Kamara said in a statement. “Dallas is a storied franchise with a hungry fan base, and I’m ready to go to work.”
The Cowboys, who have been aggressively reshaping their roster after back-to-back playoff disappointments, see Kamara as the missing piece in their offensive puzzle. Paired with quarterback Dak Prescott and a strong offensive line, Kamara’s arrival could help elevate Dallas into serious Super Bowl contention.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones didn’t hold back his enthusiasm. “Alvin is a game-changer,” Jones said. “He’s electric with the ball in his hands, and he embodies the kind of player we want wearing the star. This is a big day for Cowboys Nation.”
For Saints fans, the move is bittersweet. Kamara was not just a star on the field, but a beloved figure in the New Orleans community. His departure marks the end of an era — but for Dallas, it could be the beginning of something special.
Kamara is expected to join the team for mini-camp next week. Cowboys fans, buckle up — it’s going to be an exciting ride.
