Washington had no choice but to release Derrius Guice after the oft-injured running back’s arrest for felony domestic assault.

That said, there are football implications for the Team, which now finds itself perilously thin in the backfield.

Adrian Peterson is still surprisingly effective for a 35-year-old running back, rushing for 1,940 yards with a 4.2 average and 12 touchdowns over the last two seasons. However, he’s not the elite ball carrier he once was, while it’s unknown whether third-round rookie Antonio Gibson and second-year player Bryce Love are lead back material.

Kamara would not only give an ascending Washington squad another weapon for 2020, but would put an end to the search for a running back of the future once and for all. The cap space and draft picks are there to make it happen, so why not?

Although, from the Saints’ perspective, it might be best to shop Kamara outside the conference.
