Re: Mark Ingram not confident Saints will pick up his 5th-year option
He came on at the end of the season, he played very well and I hope he continues to play at that level, but he doesn't deserve a big contract based on the last 4 or 5 games of a 3 year span.

Re: Mark Ingram not confident Saints will pick up his 5th-year option
he should be worried. so far he has not earned the money he has gotten or showed any value for the picks used to draft him. talent is there for sure. injury bug and probably the offense he is trapped in contribute greatly to his drop in worth to this team.
he has to prove he fits in or the saints need to cash in their chips and get whatever they can for him. Or let him walk as a FA. so far he is just a mistake. saints and ingram are not a match made in heaven so far. |

Re: Mark Ingram not confident Saints will pick up his 5th-year option
So if we don't pick it up, can we still resign him at a lower salary?

Re: Mark Ingram not confident Saints will pick up his 5th-year option
There's really no question... Let him go after this season. With our penchant for undrafted RB's there's no reason to pay him millions to keep him around. He's not gonna light it up this season... Even Bill Parcells has been telling Payton that Khiry Robinson is the truth and that will probably be the direction Payton wants to go in.

Re: Mark Ingram not confident Saints will pick up his 5th-year option
Options are one of the most over-rated things in sports. Both the player and the team always have the option to stay together or part ways. It's just a technicality, and everyone knows it. There's the issue of not wanting some players to hit the market, but then again when it comes to agreeing to exercise a player option there has to be an agreement on terms of extension. Which isn't that different from dealing with the player as a free agent.
If he proves himself this year, they'll try to re-sign him. If he asks for too much then he'll walk. If he stinks it up, he'll be gone regardless. Why should we exercise any option until we know what he does with a little bit more of an expanded role? Slow news cycle. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
