He's going to get less carries. Great time to dump him. Loved the signing but I think we can do better. RB's like him are a dime a dozen.

Re: Mark Ingram: I feel like my career is ascending
I agree that it is the perfect time to trade him. Coming off his best season and the healthiest he has been as a pro we could get a rd 2 at the least. AK will get many more touches next year and we can get maybe a Guice late in the first for 1/4 of the price. With that said I hope he stays and accepts his lighter role. I’ve always been a “MIA”hater but the dude proved me wrong this year. Showed heart and skill I didn’t think he was capable of.

Re: Mark Ingram: I feel like my career is ascending
So let me get this right; we have a great blend of backfield ability, which did something that no-one in the NFL has done previously, who had his second successive 1000+ yard season and has formed a great bond which may well be one of the reasons for our running success...and you want to dump him? I would prefer we go into next season with the same threat in the backfield. New O-Linemen...sure, Receivers...why not? I just don't think we should just get rid of Ingram.

If Guice is there at 27 or later somebody is getting a RB that many are saying could be better than Fournette. It's a great time to trade MI IMO. He won't be our feature back next year and after next year no value. I would package him with our 6 and move up high in the 2nd.

Re: Mark Ingram: I feel like my career is ascending
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.
