Pretty dumb.
Apples and oranges. Ingram could've also took 0.5m less

Or Ingram wanting a bigger chunk of carries or a starting gig

Or he left for extra 500k annually.

But I think Ravens sent mixed signals and he thought he could get a lot more, then we signed Murray and it was to late for round 2 of negotiations.

Up to this point, all speculation as to what really happened.

Maybe MI's agent came in with a firm number (7-8M was my initial guess), then Loomis and the front office brass swiftly moved on to Plan B - L Murray. Or maybe their negotiation tactic back fired ?

Maybe once we were all in on Murray, the Ravens knew they didn't have to move on their initial offer?

Nonetheless, I wish Mark well in Baltimore & let's welcome Murray to New Orleans.

Hardly with the draft picks, but a fun-loving teammate who will be missed...

Wonder why we aren't going after WR's? Our corps were pretty awful besides Thomas.

Might have something to do with our cap number...

We have WRs already under contract...

Two were rookies this past season and should be much better...

Ted Ginn was injured last year...

And underneath WRs are asking for a ton of money right now...

And with that limited cap space, and looming suspension (if more than first offense) and injuries - we currently only have one defensive tackle under contract...
