sign and trade. Happens often.

What's the "damage" for the Davenport trade up to now? 4 or 5 "First Round" picks, the St. Charles Ave. Street Car Line and the Pelicans First Rounder too! "THE MICKSTER" was GM for them once!! EGGSPURTS LOL!!

I never said anything about Charles and Murray, but I have seen West with three teams and he could not hold on to his job. I was not impressed with his limited body of work. I have my share of opinions about Ingram but he isn't a West.

I would be beyond shocked.

Ingram has not been MIA. He trained with someone to hone his route running skills during voluntary OTA's, something quite common among veterans across the league. Most OTA's are little more than rookie orientation sessions. Ingram was not only present for the mini camp, but was also there for Pierre Thomas' and Lance Moore's induction into the Saints HOF. He made several other appearances along with other Saints throughout the off-season.
