Saints running back Alvin Kamara pleaded no contest to a lesser misdemeanor charge of breach of peace for an incident that took place in Las Vegas in 2022. Kamara along with three others pleaded not guilty to initial felony and misdemeanor charges of conspiracy to commit battery and substantial bodily harm and faced a trial set for July 31st. With the amended plea deal, Kamara will have to complete 30 hours of community service and pay over $100,000 to the victim, Darnell Greene, for past due medical expenses. Kamara also will be fined $500. Greene’s attorney Tony Buzbee announced the civil suit Kamara faced in Louisiana has also been settled on confidential terms. The NFL is still investigating the incident and the running back is still subject to punishment under the league’s personal-conduct policy. Host of the locked-on Saints podcast Ross Jackson says Kamara will most likely face suspension
