Alvin Kamara has made a big decision on his future with the New Orleans Saints. The 30-year-old running back, who is recovering from an ankle injury, was limited at practice on Thursday. While his Week 7 status is still uncertain, Kamara reacted to trade rumors linking him to other teams.

Kamara is sure. He doesn't want to be traded.

"If (general manager) Mickey (Loomis) comes down and says that (I've been traded)," he said Thursday via Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

“I'm going to go drink a piña colada somewhere.” He further added: “We talked about and we were looking at each other like the little Spider-Man meme, like, ‘Did you say something? Did I say something?’ I don’t know where that came from. But I don’t want to go anywhere, and I’ve said it countless times.”

The Saints are 1-5 this season so far. They play the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Kamara's return could really boost their offense. The RB is New Orleans's all-time leading rusher and a five-time Pro Bowler. This year, the 30-year-old has carried the ball 83 times for 314 yards and a touchdown to go with 22 catches for 122 receiving yards.
