My opinion is he will never be the back we are paying him to be. I would rather give Ivory a little bit of a bump and throw the rest of his salary at a saftey or a pass rusher. What could we legit get for him in a trade?

4th Rder would be my current optimistic take.

Not worth moving him for that.

ad nauseam thread btw

1. This thread is past the trade deadline and the season is not over yet, so it should be tabled until atleast the offseason please.

2. Almost literally nothing. go look at what people trade RBs for nowadays. id guess a conditional 5th/6th rounder and a backup safety or 4th string corner at best. So we should keep him.

Drew has a much higher play action completion rate with Ingram than any other RB FWIW.

1. What we would get in return, wouldn't justify trading him. Reggie produced a lot more at the time we traded him, and we got basically nothing for him (swapped 6th round picks, and Amaya, who is not longer on the team).

2. He's shown improvement this season. Why trade him now?

3. He gives us the depth at RB a lot of teams wish they had. Maybe a 1st round pick isn't worth "just depth", but you can't go back now. Ivory has shown he can't stay healthy. Cadet hasn't shown enough to trade Ingram. PT has had injury issues in the past, but even a healthy PT, wouldn't be enough to trade Ingram. Sproles is just a whole different type of player.

4. Like others have said, this topic has been beat to death by now.

So...we don't think he's valuable.... but were expecting someone else to give us something valuable in return?

How much do you think we're paying a RB on his rookie contract?

If he cared about being an NFL player and getting better as much as he did about being a cheerleader on Bama's sideline......we might have something.

Expected much more from him

Not a whole lot, but maybe a lower draft pick to use on a defensive player.

What could it hurt, you know?

3 traffic cones is still the best offer.

Draft picks and a worse RB.

MI will proceed to go off when he's playing for a team that utilizes him right.

If you included a dollar with Ingram, you could get a cup of coffee at McDonalds.

That trade to draft is probably the worst move Peyton has made as a Saint. The only, repeat, only reason to make a trade is if it improves the team. Does anyone seriously believe that Ingram has improved the team?
