That's exactly what I have been saying. It makes no sense to bring in a veteran for maybe four games and have to pay them for the entire season. It has to be a rookie or someone already on the roster.

There was apparently some confusion on this Wednesday morning when Ingram's agent released a statement, saying they planned to appeal the four-game PEDs ban. That's already been done, which is why the league announced the suspension on Tuesday. Ingram will be sidelined Weeks 1-4 (vs. TB, vs. CLE, at ATL, at NYG), leaving Alvin Kamara locked into RB1 duties.

This, of course, doesn't mean it is completely over. The original ruling and appeal of the ruling have been heard and they are waiting for the written statement of the decision. While Ingram's team cannot further appeal the ruling itself, they can appeal the suspension trying to get it thrown out (not likely) or reduced.

This is the "further option" mentioned in the press release from his new agent:

The arbitrator's opinion is due on or before Wednesday, May 16. Upon having the opportunity to review the arbitrator's opinion, we will explore what further options are needed.

Maybe we/they just need to bend over and take the 4-game suspension and get it over with. The 4 games will hurt, but I'd rather have that than another Starcaps.

Re: Mark Ingram Suspended Four Games(Update: Appeal denied)

Well......dang!:argue:

Re: Mark Ingram Suspended Four Games(Update: Appeal denied)

These guys Always appeal the suspension, they never win the appeal, and they are ALWAYS innocent. C'mon man, not fooling anyone. Just take your lumps, bc to me, the denial makes it worse.

Now I'm sure Guido will have an answer as to why I am wrong, and this is a different situation. So let's hear it, but I ain't buying it.

I thought this was his contract year. Yeah, not smart, Mark. Not smart.

I wasn’t aware of this... our RB coach Joel Thomas held the same position at Arkansas while Jonathan Williams was there. That explains why we signed him. Joel Thomas knows he can contribute.

How do you know he didn't take Sudafed. Sudafed is harmless and it's also banned by the NFL. Don't jump to conclusions. We don't know what he took.
