I thought Ingram was smarter than to get busted.....I definitely thought he would have better timing after his suspension.
To quote Hagan "Sometimes I just stare and wonder why".

You don't even know why he was "busted"? If it was out of his control there would have been nothing he could do.

And better timing for what? He isn't holding out if that's what you are talking about. There was speculation that he might hold out a couple of months ago when he fired his agent. That was LONG before the suspension was announce and even then was nothing but speculation as the reason for firing his agent.

And even if Ingram does, indeed, continue to workout on his own until mandatory OTA's it isn't that egregious. With the hoopla surrounding this whole suspension ordeal it would probably be best for all concerned.

Once again, I say wait and see.

Disagree. Two points - first, I would want my teammates to rally around me and give me a chance to explain my side of the story; second, his experience and veteran leadership is still important to the other backs in his unit and to the team as a whole...

He should be there in full faith of his contract, and be patient and allow the team the chance to re-evaluate his compensation...

At this point, because of this holdout from voluntary OTAs, I'd say he's done...

Gotta be consistent. When Ingram was drafted, Reggie went all drama club and received his exit papers in short order...
