“I’m Employee 41. I’ll do whatever they need me to do.” — Alvin Kamara Sends Message That’ll Make Every Saints Fan Proud
The New Orleans Saints came into the year with low expectations on the season. They lost Derek Carr and Tyrann Mathieu in the offseason after both opted to suddenly retire. After this, the Saints weren't left with much on the roster.
They ended up opting with Spencer Rattler as the replacement to Carr, but the results weren't great. Rattler led the Saints to a 1-7 start to the year, and the team opted to bench him in favor of Tyler Shough. Shough is set to get his first start of the season in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams.
The Saints have been linked to a lot of trade rumors this year, too. They're reportedly fielding offers for speedy wide receiver Rashid Shaheed among others.
Wide receiver Chris Olave and running back Alvin Kamara have been mentioned as trade candidates this year, but it doesn't seem like either will be traded.
Alvin Kamara continues to show his selflessness
Olave is reportedly working on a new contract with the Saints. It's unlikely the Saints would want to trade him if they're working on a contract extension.
Kamara recently said he'd rather retire than be traded from the Saints, showing his commitment to the team that drafted him.
Kamara's commitment to the Saints goes beyond his willingness to stay with a losing team. The veteran running back is seemingly willing to do whatever it takes to help the Saints win.
“I’m Employee 41. I just do what they need me to do," Kamara said when asked about his touches this year, via Saints reporter Nick Underhill.
Kamara is nearing the end of his best years, which is likely going to come with a decline in production at some point. With that in mind, it's clear that he's ready to do whatever is best for the team, including taking a bit fewer touches this season than many would have expected.
The Saints have one of the more selfless veterans in football on their roster. His recent admission is music to the Saints' ears. It's hard to find a player so willing to put the team over himself.
Bills Legend Eric Moulds Sells Final Game-Worn Jersey to Support Teammate Battling Parkinson’s Disease
Buffalo, NY – November 1, 2025
In a gesture that’s brought a wave of emotion across
game-worn jersey from his final season to support a former teammate now facing the hardest battle of his life.
For fans who remember the late ’90s and early 2000s, Moulds was the lone constant in an era of instability. Known for his precision routes, contested catches, and quiet leadership, he became the franchise’s beacon of hope through years of quarterback turnover. From 1996 to 2005, he posted
675 receptions, 9,096 yards, and 48 touchdowns, including a historic 100-catch season in 2002, earning three Pro Bowl selections and a permanent place among the Bills’ all-time greats.
That former teammate is Takeo Spikes, the relentless linebacker who commanded Buffalo’s defense with passion and authority. During his time with the team (2003–2005), Spikes recorded over 200 tackles
, earned two Pro Bowls and an All-Pro selection in 2003, and became known as the emotional core of the defense — the “defensive quarterback” who brought fire to every down.
💬 “We carried this team through the storms — him on defense, me on offense,” Moulds said quietly. “Now that he’s fighting something far tougher than any Sunday battle, I want this jersey to fight for him — the same way he fought for Buffalo.”
Spikes, beloved for his intensity and leadership, has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a neurological disorder that has gradually affected his movement and coordination. Despite the diagnosis, those close to him say his trademark energy and optimism haven’t faded — he continues to train, mentor young athletes, and advocate for player health awareness.
Moulds’ decision to sell his final jersey isn’t about nostalgia — it’s about brotherhood. The proceeds from the auction will go directly to the Bills Alumni Health & Wellness Fund
, supporting Spikes’ treatment and ongoing medical research into Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative conditions among retired NFL players.
💬 “This jersey carried our pride, our pain, and our fight,” Moulds reflected.
