Exactly. Yea it might be a good idea to get good value for Ingram now. However, when assessing what Ingram will bring to the team next year, I feel like a lot of people are overlooking how much the tandem backfield helps Brees longevity.

I've always liked Ingram and now we definitely need to keep him around!

I think a huge part of Kamaras success is due to Ingram. You put an average back in there and defenses won’t have to respect him as much. Then that leaves Kamara to help shoulder more of that up the middle load which I think will close the playbook a lil. Not to mention injury.

We still have him under contract for another year. I don't think we will mess with the team chemistry this off season. I would like to see us give him an extension before next year and keep this tandem together.

I still believe that we should invest in the O-line again this off season. Either through free agency or the draft. I'm tired of taking chances on a late rounder that we need to develop. With a good O-line our backs will have bigger holes and Drew could manage the game for several more seasons when his skills eventually begin to deteriorate but his mind is still sharp.
