Alvin Kamara Jokes About Retirement If Saints Don’t Win the Super Bowl

The NFL world thrives on bold predictions, playful trash talk, and the occasional off-the-wall remark from its biggest stars. On Tuesday, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara delivered one of the most surprising — and entertaining — comments of the preseason: he joked that he might “retire” if the Saints fail to win the Super Bowl this year.

“I’ve been around this league long enough to know you don’t get many chances,” Kamara quipped with a grin. “So if we don’t win it all, maybe I’ll just hang it up and call it a day. Nah, I’m kidding… kind of.”

The playful remark immediately sent shockwaves through Saints Nation and sparked debates on social media. While no one is seriously taking Kamara’s words as a genuine retirement announcement, fans can’t help but enjoy the confidence and swagger behind his statement.

Kamara, a five-time Pro Bowler and one of the most versatile backs in the league, enters this season with a renewed sense of urgency. The Saints have struggled to find consistent footing since the retirement of Drew Brees, but with Derek Carr settling into the quarterback role and a defense stacked with talent, New Orleans sees itself as a dark-horse contender in the NFC.

Teammates were quick to laugh off Kamara’s comment. Quarterback Derek Carr chimed in, saying, “If Kamara retires, I’m retiring too. We’re a package deal.” Head coach Dennis Allen also joined the fun, adding, “Let’s just say Alvin better start planning a long career, because we’ve got our eyes on February.”

Behind the humor, though, lies an undeniable truth: the Saints are under pressure. Their fan base has grown restless after consecutive seasons of mediocrity, and Kamara’s words — even in jest — highlight just how important this year feels for the franchise.

If the Saints do make a deep playoff run, Kamara’s joke may be remembered as the rallying cry that lit a spark. If they fall short, fans will likely tease their star running back about whether he’s keeping his promise.

For now, Alvin Kamara remains locked in, smiling, and carrying the same playful confidence that has made him one of the league’s most entertaining personalities. Retirement may not be on the table, but a Super Bowl certainly is — and the Saints’ star knows it’s time to chase one down
