The Los Angeles Chargers could be eyeing New Orleans Saints star Alvin Kamara as a potential trade target ahead of the NFL’s November 4 deadline.
With Najee Harris out for the year and rookie Omarion Hampton on injured reserve, the Chargers’ running back room has been reduced to Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal, a tandem that has left the offense one-dimensional.
Multiple outlets have linked Kamara to Los Angeles as a realistic trade candidate that could immediately reignite the Bolts’ playoff hopes.
Chargers should go get Alvin Kamara before the deadline. Give up a Third for him. Saints gave Kendre Miller more bulk of the run game. Something to watch.

Chargers Linked to Saints’ Alvin Kamara in Trade Talks
Kamara, 30, has been one of the NFL’s most dynamic dual-threat running backs for nearly a decade, totaling over 12,500 scrimmage yards and 87 touchdowns across nine seasons. Despite turning 30, he remains productive, logging 283 rushing yards and a touchdown through five games in 2025.
For the Chargers, Kamara’s receiving skills could mesh perfectly with Justin Herbert in offensive coordinator Greg Roman’s system, providing a dependable target out of the backfield and veteran leadership in a depleted position group.
Former Chargers player Breiden Fehoko even took to social media to campaign for the move, suggesting the team should “go get Alvin Kamara before the deadline.”

Reports vary on the cost, with some proposing a 2026 fourth-round and 2027 sixth-round pick, while other analysts like Fehoko believe a third-rounder could get the deal done.
The Saints, sitting at 1-4, appear open to selling veterans to collect draft capital as they pivot toward a rebuild led by young running back Kendre Miller.
