It just didn't seem like money was the issue. He went to the Ravens on a deal that we easily could have gave him.

His agent threw us a ridiculous high ball figure. We immediately went out and signed Murray for less money and equivalent stats. Ingram fired his agent immediately and then had to sign with the Ravens. I don't think he wanted to leave New Orleans. However, he should get the opportunity to be a feature back not a back up/rotational player for Alvin Kamara.
Personally, I love the man and what he did in New Orleans on and off the field. Ingram was always a great locker room leader and player. I watched him play at Alabama and was glad we drafted him. Roll Tide! He is unselfish and has a team first attitude. Good luck and thank you! I have always believed in Mark Ingram and I wish him nothing but success. |

Did anyone see his presser with Harbaugh a few days ago? He looked so miserable. I feel badly for him and can't help but think he's secretly very upset with his agent right now.
