Alvin Kamara is making a late push for a contract extension with the New Orleans Saints.

Kamara has been an unexcused absence from training camp since Friday, which is believed to be contract-related.

Sean Payton has declined to specify the reason for any player absences in recent days, as teams are not required to release injury reports during camp.

Kamara is scheduled to make $2.133 million in the final season of his rookie contract.

By holding out, Kamara could risk losing an accrued season, meaning he would become a restricted free agent after this season instead of unrestricted.
