Saints' Alvin Kamara makes sense for Commanders if available
It sounds like Alvin Kamara's future with the Saints is in doubt. If New Orleans moves on from him, he'll have options. The Commanders make sense.
The Washington Commanders currently have five running backs on the roster after they used a sixth-round pick on Penn State's Kaytron Allen in the 2026 NFL Draft. In addition to Allen, the Commanders have last year's leading rusher, Jacory "Bill" Croskey-Merritt, Jeremy McNichols, Rachaad White and Jerome Ford. By all accounts, Washington would appear set in the backfield.
While there is no clear-cut No. 1, the Commanders believe in Croskey-Merritt, while McNichols is a coach's favorite. White and Ford were signed in free agency.
White has enjoyed success in recent years and is expected to help in the passing game. As it stands now, the Commanders probably only keep four backs. Someone is the odd man out.
But what if Washington isn't done adding to the backfield? The Commanders were interested in Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love in the NFL draft. However, he was gone by the time Washington selected.
