Re: Mark Ingram approaching 1000 yards
Hate to disappoint but he is going to walk. We won't have the money to sign him, and if we were to spend that kind of money on a RB then you might as well spend a bit more to get Peterson. I love Ingram but knowing how this organization is with RBs I think he is gone.

Re: Mark Ingram approaching 1000 yards
We might have the money to sign him if the cap hits the heights some are suggesting. Some talks a few months back that the new TV deals will push the cap to $150ml.
If that's the case I would ideally see the team use the money taking hits on some big deals and making the ling term future better. |

Re: Mark Ingram approaching 1000 yards
In case no one has noticed but not a single one of our RB's has stayed healthy this year so the not staying healthy applies to all RB's not just Ingram.

Re: Mark Ingram approaching 1000 yards
But the others are not looking for a multi million dollars extension.
I do think the Loom is should extend Robinson now if he can rather than risk loosing Ingram this year and Robinson next year |

Still think you're inferring waaay too much from what you've "observed" on the sidelines. But you can rest easy because even if Loomis wanted to, there won't be enough money to over-pay him. |

Re: Mark Ingram approaching 1000 yards
Ingram is gone. End of story. Thomas should be. Not worth the salary. It's Robinson's job to lose. Extend him with a raise but at a low rate. Cadet has the best hands on the team and is cheap. Pick up somebody in the draft. RB is never going to be the focal point of Payton's offense. It is what it is.
