Re: Mark Ingram's role becoming clear
I just cannot believe there will be much of any trading of RBs going on in the offseason. SP moved up to draft Ingram, meaning he clearly likes him, and last season was even quoted as saying (and I'm paraphrasing here), that HE (SP) was the only reason that Ingram wasn't rookie of the year. Now SP has had to sit and watch as someone else plays with his new toy.
All of our RBs are very talented and like Oak said above, we are going to be transitioning our game as Brees continues to age. He's accurate as all heck but his 'zip' is beginning to fade ever so slightly. Just my opinion, but I find it hard to believe that we will be losing a RB with his potential and, more importantly, his price tag. Plus, what has he done that will attract potential suitors? We would get very little value for him in a trade, and certainly nothing close to the price we paid. I suspect we will see more releases of veterans and FA signings to bolster the defense some more than to try to mess much with the offense, IMO |

Ivory ia 1.2mm and restricted free agent next year. PT is a 11mm 4 year deal.. FA 2015 Cadet is 1.55mm RFA 2015 Sproles is 14mm FA 2015. Ingram has the lowest ROI. The least preforming for the $... Someone will take him just as they did Ricky Williams and Reggie Bush... Hell Miami might make it a triple crown. |

Sproles - 4.25 million Thomas - 2.26 million Igram - 1.7 million Ivory - 0.6 Million Cadet - 0.4 million I think its clear who has the worst ROI, and it isn't Ingram. |
