Yes its a money issue. 5 million is probably too much for a RB in this offense regardless.

In any offense it's too much money.

Define "break out year"?

$5m is top 10 RB

He has to break 1000 yards and 7 or better TDs to get into the top 13 RBs. He has averaged 3 TDs and 500 yards.

Jamal Charles 1200 yards and 12 TDs 4.7m/year 13th highest average salary.

Exactly! The Saints would be insane to pick up his option.

That'll only happen with an Ingram focused offense. Same thing as saying that's not gonna happen with the Sean n Drew show. Even though RB centered offenses make it to the playoffs and even Superbowl every year... every other year... every decade... every...
