In an unexpected development, former New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen wrote star running back Alvin Kamara a letter, causing fans and pundits to wonder and speculate. Allen is said to have expressed his gratitude, admiration, and perhaps even some guidance for the Pro Bowl running back in the letter that was made public earlier today.
According to people familiar with the matter, Allen wanted to express his gratitude to Kamara directly for his commitment, guidance, and contributions to the squad when he was head coach. Allen apparently felt obliged to admit that Kamara was still a vital member of the Saints despite the ups and downs of the previous seasons.
The note’s whole contents have not been made public, but according to some accounts, it might have contained positive remarks about Kamara’s future, whether it was with the Saints or somewhere else. Many people are speculating whether Allen’s letter was a possible farewell or just a reflection on their time together, given the uncertainty surrounding coaching changes and roster moves.
Fans are already making assumptions about Kamara’s future with the team even though he hasn’t formally responded yet. One thing is certain as the Saints get ready for the season: the NFL community is aflutter over this unexpected letter.
