The New Orleans Saints faced questions all offseason about running back Alvin Kamara.

On Wednesday, the Saints got clarity, and Kamara agreed to a restructured deal to stay in New Orleans for his 10th season in the NFL.

Saints reporter Nick Underhill and former Saints star Terron Armstead revealed the news on Wednesday.

Kamara was entering the final season of a two-year, $24.5 million contract. Questions swirled more when the Saints signed Travis Etienne to a four-year, $52 million contract.

Kamara made a special appearance at a Savannah Bananas game and grabbed his leg after jumping, scaring fans. Ultimately, it seems that it was an act by Kamara, and the video can be seen here.

Kamara has spent his entire career with the Saints since they selected him in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He has made the Pro Bowl team five times, but he rushed for just 471 yards with one touchdown in 11 games last season.

The Saints are entering their second year with Kellen Moore as the head coach, but the questions about the future of Alvin Kamara can be put to bed, at least for this season.
