Diehards Line:
Saints officials have encouraged Kamara to schedule the meeting in hopes of reducing the length of any potential suspension this season. It’s unclear when the meeting with Goodell will take place. The Saints have an off day from training camp Sunday and return to practice Monday. The NFL declined comment through a league spokesman. Kamara has not spoken to reporters since training camp opened this week. He told reporters on Wednesday that he plans to address the media on Wednesday. “I’ll talk to you all on Aug. 2 after I talk to (Goodell),” Kamara said. ... Kamara’s status for the 2023 season is one of the biggest questions facing the Saints as they prepare for their Sept. 10 regular-season opener against the Titans. A July 11 settlement cleared the way for the NFL to mete out any potential discipline on the matter. The incident was his first off-the-field transgression in his seven-year career. General manager Mickey Loomis said Tuesday the league has given the team no indication of a possible timeline for a Kamara decision. “It’s in the league’s hands,” Loomis said. “We don’t have control over that.”
