With contract year looming, Mark Ingram says his best years are still in front of him

There are other RBs who could produce like Ingram; there are very few with Kamara's elusiveness...

Wouldn't overpay for Ingram; average Top 20 RB salary...

Who might that be? There are a handful of backs who may be better but there are a lot of backs who are worse. I doubt he'll get a contract that will break the bank either. You don't break up chemistry in 2018.

Hopefully Mark goes no where.

I like Mark very much and want us to keep him, but I think you're right.

Still, the guy has passion second to none. That counts too I think.

That's a good point...

Roll Tide! Don't mess with chemistry. Give him an extension and keep him off the market.

Trade him to Cleveland for the first pick in the draft. Then take that pick and draft a new punter!

I was impressed with how much of a teammate Ingram was this year. Always one if the first to congratulate another back on a TD, when he wasn’t even on the field for the play.

Down the stretch Ingram disappointed, especially against Minnesota. But stats disguise individual games.
