MI Potential Trade

Utah_Saint · 07-19-2018, 04:25 PM

Ingram knows the offense, Drew is comfortable throwing him the ball, he’s gotten very good in pass protection, and he averaged 4.9 ypc last season. I get being ticked at him but I don’t see how trading him makes the team better.

Everyone can thank me when we win the SB without him and, end up crawling our way back into RND1 with picks bundled from the trade.

We are going full dynasty mode. Get onboard because the train is going to leave without you and MI.

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.

If you want to get back in the first, Trade Armstead, not Ingram, and a fourth round pick; move Ramczyk or Peat to LT cause a LG or RT will be easier to replace...

But the only guys you'd get a first for are Lattimore, Thomas, Jordan, Ramczyk, maybe Kamara and if you're trading them, you're giving up on being a contender...

I'm still trying to figure out why the hell anyone would want to trade him....he's been spectacular the last 2 years. The guy can't catch a break from the fans.

I think we're going to have most of the leverage resigning Ingram if he wants to stay.

Never said we would get a first for him.

No evidence other than a personal feeling. Maybe due to his being suspended and being in a contract year. Maybe he comes back when other backs didn’t just cover for him but excelled?

What do you mean "comes back"? He was there for mandatory mini-camp. He'll be there for training camp. He only missed "voluntary" OTA's because he was training with a route running and speed expert. Numerous veteran players train on their own during OTA's. Everything I've heard from players concerning his suspension is that he got a raw deal and they feel sorry for him and support him 100%. And players are always supportive of other players concerning contracts. Besides, there hasn't been anything negative concerning his contract anyway.

Which makes it even more stupid to trade him. Trading Ingram would weaken the 2018 roster and have no guarantee to improve any future roster. I just thank God that you aren't our GM.

That is far too logical, JP. I'm not sure Beastmode can handle it.

He's been on this Ingram obsession for weeks now.
