Locks in massive extension Kamara signed a five-year, $75 million extension Saturday which includes just over $34 million in guarantees, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The move comes only moments after Vikings running back Dalvin Cook reportedly agreed to a five-year extension in the range of $62 million. It's a massive windfall for Kamara given the running back market in past seasons, though with a number of major backs already locked into new deals, it makes sense that the Saints were so aggressive in re-signing their star running back. Kamara missed multiple practices during the latter stages of training camp with a minor back issue, one which was reportedly perceived as a holdout of sorts, but that was quickly denied by the running back, according to Mike Triplett of ESPN.com. Expect the newly minted $75 million man to be a major fantasy asset Week 1 in a major divisional tilt against the Buccaneers.

Nearing contract extension Kamara and the Saints are "extremely close" to coming to terms on a contract extension, which is expected to be finalized before New Orleans' season opener Sunday versus the Buccan...

Impact Heading into the final year of his rookie deal, Kamara's contract status has been a hot topic in training camp, though the running back himself indicated that his recent four-day absence from practice wasn't due to any dissatisfaction with his current deal. In any case, a long-term deal with the Saints would erase any lingering concern about Kamara entertaining a holdout or being traded ahead of Week 1, a development that would likely have many fantasy managers feeling better about the first-round pick they invested into the 25-year-old. Kamara is on track to continue heading the Saints' ground game in 2020 while serving as one of the NFL's most prolific receivers out of the backfield, and he'll once again have the luxury of working behind a top-tier offensive line.

Denies notion of holdout Kamara said he's "never held out in (his) life" when asked Monday about his recent four-day unexcused absence from practice, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kamara avoided questions regarding his negotiations with the Saints about a new contract, affirming that his focus is on Sunday's divisional tilt against the Buccaneers. Additionally, coach Sean Payton said he's "confident that at some point we'll get this [contract] done," but he declined to offer any further details. It doesn't appear as though the three-time Pro Bowler is entertaining the idea of any sort of holdout as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. It has also been reported that Kamara sought treatment for a minor back issue during his previous absence, but he's now resumed fully participating in practice.
