Beast,

Mark isn't going to get traded & Boston won't turn into Sproles by week 5. Why are you so fixated on getting rid of a guy who is a above average player and can help this team go deep in the post season for 2018?

Not sure if you read that link Guido or Oak posted earlier this off season, but the failure rate of draft picks is way too high to risk trading a star player for a couple of draft picks.

While that's true, the flip side of the equation is that Ingram is free at the end of the season. So it becomes a questions of what happens then:

1. Likely overpay on another contract?
2. Let him go and price himself in the open market?
3. Get something in return before the clock runs out?

I don't pretend to know the right answer.`But if the Saints determine that they cannot afford to pony up, then isn't it at least sensible to think about what you can get while you can?
