Losing Ingram was just the dumbest thing we've done as a front office in forever

Got to watch a good bit of the Kansas City game.

Just the passion he brings to this game is priceless.

Murray is basically garbage. Terrible signing. Might as well have tried to sign another mini Kamara instead this off season.

I'm not sure. Sean coached this game as if it was a make or break game and with Drew out he's clearly made AK our feature back, first one in his tenure. Murray will get some work in, and will earn some SP trust, at least I think he will, then we'll see value.

We are 3 games in and have essentially given up on using Murray.

In a game in which you're up 20 in the 4th and you don't see the field?

Yikes, that's alarming.

I agree it was a mistake but from what it sounds like Ingram went off on his own. He probably liked the chance to be a featured back.

I would never buy that.

He wanted to stay here, he and Kamara truly had an unbreakable bond like actual brothers.

We low balled him, he felt slighted and unfortunately he accepted a deal that wasn't much more than we offered.

It's just a tragedy.

But hey the little money we saved we got Jared Cook #FleenerPartDeux.

You might be right.

What did he get... $500,000? Would anybody leave BlackandGold and return to SaintsReport for $500,000?

LOL I'd want 5M guaranteed + an escape clause + input on which other posters get cut.
