I seem to remember something about an exemption from the league for certain criteria? Ingram was supposed to have the exemption, but then they never formally gave it to him or something like that.

I'm actually more obsessed with getting back in the 1st. And yes, I know we are not getting that but it would give us the ability to stack to make it possible.


The strength of this team right now is the draft, mainly round 1. Rankins, Lattimore, Ramczyk. Maybe even Davenport. Guilty as charged if I want to get it back and sacrifice our 2nd string RB to get there who, will not be contributing anyway until the halfway point.

I believe he has greater value to us this year than anything we could get for him in return. He is an all-around back that blocks, catches passes and runs well. He is in the best system and has a perfect complement with Kamara. Drew will miss him the first four games I am sure. They have a great working relationship. Besides, after coming off a suspension Ingram's contract may be more palatable.

I personally think we would benefit from keeping him but I also have that feeling he may return and be a locker room cancer.

Why would you think he'd suddenly become "a locker room cancer"? He is one of the single most popular players on the roster among fellow teammates from everything I've heard or seen.

:confused:

2nd string RB? Ingram had 288 touches as compared to 201 by Kamara last season. And where do you get his not contributing until the halfway point? He'll be back in top shape ready to contribute over the final 3/4th's of the regular season and through our Super Bowl run.

I'd definately keep MI. He's gonna run hard to show he has lots of gas in those legs, so when he hits the free market he'll have some leverage. He'll help get that 2nd ring!!

No trade at this point. Contract year. He'll run like a horse. Don't need to bring him up to speed on anything but contact. He'll have his best year per game.
