Alvin Kamara “No Longer a Safe Bet”: Saints Face Potential Lineup Changes After Brutal Loss

The New Orleans Saints are spiraling after a humiliating 44-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The scoreboard wasn’t the only disaster — the performance raised serious concerns about the team’s offensive identity, and especially the future of star running back Alvin Kamara.

Kamara Losing His Grip as the Go-To Option

For years, Alvin Kamara has been the Saints’ most versatile weapon — equally dangerous running the ball or catching out of the backfield. But this season, his impact has faded.

Following the blowout loss, analysts were quick to label Kamara as “no longer a safe bet,” both for the Saints and in the fantasy football world. With New Orleans often forced to abandon the run and play catch-up, Kamara’s opportunities have shrunk, leaving him a shadow of the playmaker he once was.

Possible Shake-Up in the Backfield

Sources close to the team suggest that the coaching staff is seriously considering lineup adjustments at the running back position. That could mean Kamara will no longer be the centerpiece of the Saints’ offense, as younger players may see expanded roles in the coming weeks.

What’s Next for Kamara and the Saints?

Kamara’s decline poses a difficult question for New Orleans:

  • Can the team find a way to revive his explosiveness?

  • Or is it time to move on and rebuild around fresh talent?

  • With an undefeated Buffalo Bills team looming in Week 4, all eyes will be on head coach Dennis Allen and how he decides to deploy Alvin Kamara.

    👉 Could this be the beginning of the end for Kamara’s era in New Orleans? Fans won’t have to wait long to find out.

    Bills WR Officially Benched After Repeatedly Showing Up Late to Team Meetings - This Is His Fifth Time Being Late, He Was Reportedly Intoxicated
    SHOCKING news out of Orchard Park: The Buffalo Bills have indefinitely benched their former second-round wide receiver after yet another disciplinary incident. Sources inside One Bills Drive confirm this marks the FIFTH time in the 2025 season the player has been late to a team meeting — and the latest offense was the final straw: he reportedly showed up reeking of alcohol. Moments after Monday’s team meeting, head coach Sean McDermott addressed the media with a tone that left no room for interpretation: “The Buffalo Bills will not tolerate disrespect toward this football team, disrespect toward your teammates, and disrespect toward yourself. We’ve given chances, we’ve had private conversations, we’ve done everything we can. At this point, enough is enough. When you walk into this building, you represent an entire city and an entire fan base. We cannot and will not accept this any longer.” That player? None other than Keon Coleman — the once-hyped Florida State product drafted in the second round of 2024 to be Josh Allen’s next big-play weapon. From “generational talent” to full-blown headache in less than two seasons: Incidents 1–2: Late to meetings → internal warnings Incident 3: Benched for two full games in November 2025 Incident 4: Seen dancing on the sideline while serving that benching Incident 5: Showed up late AGAIN… and allegedly intoxicated → indefinitely removed from the active roster Just weeks ago, Bills Hall of Famer Andre Reed spent nearly two hours on the phone trying to mentor the 22-year-old, but it now appears the message fell on deaf ears. With no Bills receiver currently on pace for even 760 yards this season and the room already paper-thin after the Amari Cooper and Brandin Cooks additions, losing Keon Coleman — even for non-football reasons — is a gut punch. Bills Mafia is LIVID. Many are already calling for the front office to cut their losses, just like they did with first-round bust Kaiir Elam and second-round flop Boogie Basham. The million-dollar question now: Is this the end of Keon Coleman in Buffalo, or will Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane give him one final lifeline? Drop your take in the comments: Keep Keon and hope he grows up… or ship him out TODAY? 👇🔥
