Mark Ingram a healthy scratch (1 Viewer)

Mark Ingram is healthy and not playing, what's going on there?

They're letting him go after the season for sure. Grass isn't always greener

They discussed at the beginning. JK Dobbins is the guy. They love Gus Edwards. Ingram is a RB3 that doesn't play special teams, so he doesn't play. Justice Hill plays ST so he is the RB3.

Ingram got that $8M/yr contract his agent said he would and now he has been phased out. Oh wait, he didn't get that $8M/yr.

I have been wondering about this myself. Something is off. I am a bit curious to find out what it is.

he's a better Bama cheerleader than a RB..

You can only dress 48. Ingram was the odd man out. He is done in Baltimore.

Hell bring his energy back to the saints

No thanks. He chose to chase the $$$ instead of staying where he could be used better and it bit him in the butt. Murray is just as good and much cheaper.

Come home Mark......


for less because you left lol

 

[bigdaddysaints]

I mean, for league minimum, as a RB3...

Seriously, so a competing company offers you twice your current salary...you're just not going to consider it because your loyalty to your current employer.

 

[bigdaddysaints]

um, he didn't get twice what we offered him

 

[DreadedOne]

Ah...so my point wasn't if its double its justified, less isn't ok. My point was that we all chase the money at some point so stop being so unforgiving of him chasing the money.

Edit: undoubtedly someone will argue that they are of higher moral character than that and they don't chase the money...listen, I'm not living life in Mark Ingram shoes or anyone else's on this board...stop judging others with such criticism and relax a bit.

Wasn't even close to twice the salary. If I had a slightly better offer from a competing company (and I have) I stay loyal to my employer if they have already proven their loyalty to me.

he let his agent talk him up *thinking* he was gonna get waay more, Saints had the.opportunity to sign his replacement (Murray) and couldn't wait on him to keep negotiating with Baltimore. his agent was using the leverage that he could just re-sign with the Saints. when we signed Murray, his leverage was gone and signed for not much more then the Saints were offering. now his career is mostly done as a starter. best he'll be is a 3rd down back. if he had re-signed with the Saints, he would still be getting carries instead of riding the pine like he is in Baltimore.
