2025 NFL trade deadline: 5 running backs teams should target now | NFL.com
Kamara has made it known he wants to play for the Saints and the Saints alone. The five-time Pro Bowl running back has been the focal point of New Orleans’ offense since he was drafted in 2017, and he’s been incredibly steady despite all of the offensive changes during his nine seasons. The 30-year-old still brings great value as a dual-threat running back who defenses must account for on every play. Unfortunately, no matter how great Kamara still is, he can’t stack up wins for New Orleans (0-3) without a lot more help. The Saints are in full rebuild mode — they could very well be in the quarterback market once again next offseason — and need as many assets as they can get. Kamara’s trade value might not be nearly as high as it once was, but by moving the experienced playmaker, New Orleans would pick up draft capital and free up some cap space. The team that should seriously consider calling GM Mickey Loomis? Kansas City. Kamara could be the answer to many of the Chiefs’ offensive problems.

5. Kansas City Chiefs
Former general manager John Dorsey drafted quarterback Patrick Mahomes, defensive lineman Chris Jones and tight end Travis Kelce. Still, his protégé, Brett Veach, has maintained the operation’s integrity since his 2017 promotion. Veach, who followed coach Andy Reid to Kansas City in 2013, worked on the college side and had a hand in the evaluation of the Chiefs’ three most impactful additions.
That continuity has been an asset. The player evaluation process is known to be especially thorough, and the coaches have trusted the scouting department, which has resulted in strong chemistry within the draft room.
“They all speak the same language and know what the coaches want,” an executive said.
The Chiefs don’t have a flawless draft record, but other executives insist that the overall body of work is impressive, considering they consistently select late. For example, consider 2021, when they selected linebacker Nick Bolton and center Creed Humphrey late in the second round. Kansas City then picked right guard Trey Smith in the sixth.
“They obviously crushed the Mahomes pick, which is an all-time great one, and he is just so good that can cover other things,” an executive said. “With all these successful teams, that’s what people don’t realize. When you are successful every year, having to pick at the end of each round, the talent is drained. Yet, they are still finding players and culture fits.”
