Saints Sign Latavius Murray

Four-year, $14.4 million contract. Sold signing this obviously means Ingram is gone.

I like it. History aside, Ingram is a widget. Nonsense in overpaying for a cog. Goood luck Mark but we need a solid O line

Saints probably just couldn't or willing to match a contract from other suitors.

The financial folks probably gave MI a number and a deadline. Unfortunate we'll lose Mark but the NFL is a business.

I wish Mark well wherever he lands though. He gave 100% on every down.

Not bad. Maybe Murray is a bit undervalued running behind a bad o-line in Minnesota and not really having a lot of offensive weapons around him back in his Oakland days.

We'll lose Ingram's reliability in pass blocking and catching, but Murray is a bigger back and more difficult to bring down. Could help wear down opponents in the 3rd and 4th quarter.

Man had a feeling he was gone. Happy we didnt over pay.

Ingram probably is going to get double that

good value with LM

Kamara can do it all and better than most. Only concern is his size and his ability to remain healthy with that kind of work load. Any RB we have on the roster with him is nothing more than an insurance policy. May as well buy the cheaper one.

Good luck to Ingram. He was a solid player and good guy and wish him the best.

I think we learned Kamara can’t do it all after the first 4 games of last season. He was getting winded pretty bad by week 3 with no help. He’s going to need someone to split with. We are going to miss the presence Ingram brings to the locker room. I get the move though. Wish it didn’t work out this way but all the best to him. He was one of my all time favorites.

in game 3 AK had 30+ touches and was targetted 20 times. That's absurd, and as much on Brees as anyone. Your main weapon cannot also be your safety valve.
Murray is good for 12 carries a game and should provide nice balance at a level only slightly below Ingram
