I just think Kamara is a full-sized Sproles. There's certainly value in a player like that, but I don't know if I see $15m/yr value. I think Sean Payton/Drew Brees seem to be able to make it work with most anyone they put in there...
Last 3 Years
Alvin Kamara: 485 rushes / 2,408 rushing yards (5.0 YPC) / 27 rushing TDs ... 243 receptions / 2,068 receiving yards (8.5 AVG) / 10 receiving TDs
2nd Best NO RBs: 486 rushes / 2,300 rushing yards (4.7 YPC) / 21 rushing TDs ... 81 receptions / 652 receiving yards (8.0 AVG) / 7 receiving TDs
They lose almost nothing in the rushing department when they had Mark Ingram/Latavius Murray in the game instead of Kamara, and the receiving department seems to be more of a situation of opportunity rather than ability as you see the AVG yards per catch (and not listed, the completion %) are awfully close and the TD rate is actually way better.
Don't get me wrong, Kamara is a good RB, but I don't think he's worth $15m/yr when they could get fairly similar results from a cobbling together of Mark Ingram ('17-'18) and Latavius Murray ('19) at about $4m/yr.
