New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara, 29, is a three-time Pro Bowler and a mainstay with the Saints since being drafted by the team in 2017 with the 67th overall pick in the third round of the NFL Draft.

Kamara is working under a five-year $75 million contract that keeps him with the team through the end of the 2025 season.  He wanted to renegotiate his deal during this offseason; however, the Saints did not engage him.

That's why eyebrows were raised when news broke that Kamara put his New Orleans house up for sale. He built this house in 2022. It is a 6,923-square-foot home on sale for $2.75 million.  

Kamara answered the question about his house with a glib question.  He said: "You looking for a house?" He went on to say that he has "other properties around the city." 

He assured reporters he has other places to stay in New Orleans if the house sells. Kamara shared that his brother is a real estate agent, and he is a "serial entrepreneur" dabbling in real estate.

He joked that Matt Bowers said he could live with him.  Bowers is a diehard Saints fan who owns multiple car dealerships around the area.
