Bleacher Report names Chiefs, Cowboys potential Alvin Kamara suitors

If the Saints and Kamara decide that it's best to move on, an aging running back might be difficult to trade, but the running back's dual-threat ability remains as something that could interest several teams. The Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs are two potential post-June 1 landing spots, as Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox recently suggested.

The Cowboys, who recently locked up standout running back Javonte Williams on a long-term contract, have shown a willingness to make trades at the right price. They acquired wideout George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers last summer; spending a sixth-or seventh-round pick on Kamara isn't out of the realm of possibilities. His ability to catch the ball out of the backfield could offer Dak Prescott a safety valve on passing downs.

As for the Chiefs, a team always looking to maximize the weapons around Patrick Mahomes, they signed Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III in free agency, while drafting Nebraska's Emmett Johnson on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. There might not be a role for Kamara perfectly carved out as it stands, but if there's one thing that head coach Andy Reid and the Chiefs have shown, it's that they're willing to use their players in unconventional ways to get them the ball in space.

Ultimately, Kamara is under contract through next season before a void in his contract could make him a free agent next offseason. If a team is willing to trade late Day 3 compensation in 2027 to acquire a high-ceiling, low-floor running back ready to contribute and compete for a championship, Kamara appears to be the guy.
