Kamara and Gray spent seven years together with the team, and the franchise's decision may have rubbed Kamara the wrong way. New Orleans drafted Kamara in the third round in 2017, while Gray joined as an undrafted free agent after the conclusion of the 2018 draft. The duo has been a mainstay with the Saints since.

What's next for Alvin Kamara and J.T. Gray?

Alvin Kamara is entering his ninth season with the New Orleans Saints. The perennial Pro Bowler is one of the best dual-threat running backs in the league due to his catching and rushing ability. Kamara was just 50 yards shy last season of recording 1,000 rushing yards for the first time in his NFL career. However, a groin injury forced him miss the last three games of the campaign.

Kamara enters the upcoming season looking to recapture his Pro Bowl form. A lot will be expected of him due to the Saints' weakness at quarterback and the likelihood of the team operating a run-heavy offense. Kamara and his team will start their campaign with a game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

J. T. Gray was one of the leaders of New Orleans. The former undrafted free agent thrived in the special teams department and amassed three All-Pro nods.

Gray is a competent safety and one of the better special teamers in the league. He shouldn't be short of offers ahead of the 2025 regular season. Gray could contribute to a franchise with playoff aspirations, and potentially meet his former team along the way.
