Captain Ray Obvious taps into his superpowers on this one, but it's still a hopeful article for Saints' fans...

Is Victor with the team still? I’m surprised we went with Edmunds over him.
The Falcons will be tough to beat.
Vicodin, Bountygate, and 3 players caught taking PEDs. At some point you have to start looking at the staff and Coaches.
Seems There is always something shady goin down.

This should end any debate over a high dollar, long term contract for Ingram.

Just say no.

Dayum! After I was thinking the plan was to get our 1st rd pick back or at least a 2nd rd pick after the season on a trade, this happen! GOOD LUCK ON CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS.

Wtf Mark? Hey I'm not gonna hide. I was just complaining about all the hate on him. I still think he's a great back. I'm upset about the PEDS ****, but I can forgive that. But the contract talk post suspension is ridiculous.

I've been one of the most frequent critics since the front office used a first and second round pick to take Ingram, really any RB in the first round...

Let's be fair - I'd posted/shared Ingram secured new representation a couple of months ago; Ingram's camp had already expressed they wanted a reworked contract...

The way this timing is getting spun is a disingenuous (i.e. #fakenews); now is the Mickster or other leaking to manipulating this?

Conspiracy theorists light your bongs and discuss...

Not sure what he took but if it's supplements, stuff is not regulated. Eat healthy meals and stay away from it. Any real nutritionist will say the same.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone anymore than bounty programs existing. You don’t stay competitive amongst elite competition in a brutal sport on whole milk, chicken, multi-vitamins, and a protein shake.

I am surprised at three suspensions in as many years but only because that’s a low number compared to reality.

Are we naive enough to believe that after 5-6 seasons a player just got good? It’s not a coincidence that the three suspensions were for players that had hot previous seasons, the league knows where to look.

I wouldn't have been giving him a big paid contract after this year anyway. RB is pretty easy to get players in. Why pay big money for a man just about to enter his 30s. Get soneone young,hungry and cheap with luttle wear on them

The Vicodin coach is long gone ... Vitt. Bountygate was total BS. Three players takings PED's? Name a team that hasn't had that many hit in the past dozen years. A frickin' throat lozenge can trigger a failed PED test. So can a diluted urine sample. In the Star Cap suspension it was an completely unlisted ingredient in an over the counter supplement.
