Nice. I like that Ingram accepted this offer. Fair deal.

Oh how I hope you are right. I wouldn't mind seeing a single back set. Ingram as the main with Robinson to spell out. I would like to get a thumper type of back to replace Cadet though just in case Ingram goes down.

Interesting that he didn't wait until Tuesday and test the market.

Good deal for everyone

Saints, Mark Ingram agree to four-year, $16M deal - NFL.com

Probably smart enough to see the writing-on-wall with the current running back market ... more F/A's should do that,

Four more years

of Roll Tide!

Just hit the hole quick and fall forward for yards like PT showed ya...

Only reservation, concern is that he's gonna be a contract year only producer...

Now that would really pi$$ me off...

It's not exactly magic. It's releasing players and restructuring contracts for players he over-paid in the first place, to make room to re-sign average players like Ingram. He had a nice season, for him. That isn't saying much. The running game was just as effective spreading the touches between multiple backs. He got the bulk of the carries this time, but the team as a whole did not benefit anything extra for it.

Not saying that's his fault, but I am saying that we didn't need Ingram as much as we need improved pass blocking, and obviously a better defense. In short, I don't really care that we re-signed Ingram. It's not an exorbitant amount of money, it just feels kind of pointless.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
