Jimmy was a great player for the Saints and I appreciate his contribution. However this is one of the only times in the Sean Payton era that they traded a player at the perfect time. Too bad they couldn't get anything for Ingram.

Ingram almost rushed for 1,000 yards last year, behind a banged up O line.

You may want to grab your popcorn and enjoy 2015 before you go booting him off the team...

I would not be hurt if they signed him. At worst he gets the Bailey treatment.

Cool, nothing wrong with visiting. I sometimes visit people. Sometimes...

Anyway, I'm a little surprised by the enthusiasm of this potential signing. I guess I'll be in the minority today. He didn't seem like a guy who had much left before he went to Minnesota, and when he got there he did less than I expected. This would be someone to pick up if you're a desperate team looking to add a name. And as for locker room presence, that's all fine and good, but it really takes a lot of those guys to make a difference.

He might come in and make a few plays here and there, but we already have guys who can do that. I remember way back in 2000, when I was just a little too young to know better, I got all excited when we signed Jake Reed, because I knew he was a really good player for the Vikings. He was already washed up by this time, but I didn't follow other teams closely enough at that time to realize it. He looked like a dinosaur out there in the short time he played for us, and then broke his leg if I remember correctly.

I see Jennings in a similar mold.

How much money have the Saints paid him over the years for that one good season, then tremendously over paid him again? He would need a few more 1000 yard seasons at no pay just to earn the money he's already been paid.

He averaged 1.8 million a year = Mark Ingram Contract, Salary Cap Details & Breakdowns | Spotrac

You obviously cannot forgive the fact that he attended Alabama. Your bias is clearly clouding your judgment because Ingram has been outstanding when given the opportunity.
