Alvin Kamara threatens retirement if Saints try to trade him: 'I'll drink a piña colada somewhere'

Drew Brees speaks to Fox News Digital about the New Orleans Saints, Bo Nix, and the NFL preseason that has already seen several high-caliber starters.

With the New Orleans Saints struggling at 1-5 to start the NFL season, trade rumors have been swirling in the "Big Easy" around its stars, especially running back Alvin Kamara. 

Kamara has said it before, but he’ll say it again: he wants to stay put in New Orleans. 

"I think I’ve been vocal enough. I don’t want to go anywhere. I’ve said it countless times. I think everybody knows that – y’all know that, the fan base knows that," he said, via ESPN.

There was a report from NFL Network that said Saints general manager Mickey Loomis approached Kamara after he received interest from other teams about trading for the veteran back. The report added that Loomis asked Kamara if there was anywhere he wanted to go. 

That’s news to Kamara and Loomis, according to No. 41.

"We talked about [the report] and we was looking at each other like the Spider-Man meme. ‘Did you say something? Did I say something?’" Kamara said, laughing. "…At the end of the day, it’s business."

Kamara knows how cold the NFL can be, but while he may not have the upper-hand with something like a no-trade clause, the nine-year vet does have an ace up his sleeve: retirement.
