Nothing really new, but looking more likely that it won't happen.

The New Orleans Saints don't intend to pick up the fifth-year option on running back Mark Ingram, according to CBS Sports.

The Saints have already picked up defensive end Cam Jordan's $6.97 million option, which will extend his contract through the 2015 season.
The team has kept quiet about its intentions on Ingram's option. Last Wednesday, Saints coach Sean Payton said there was no rush to make a decision.

The Saints have until May 3 to exercise Ingram's option. That would reportedly come with a price tag of $5.2 million in base salary in 2015.

I wonder of this means we will be looking at RBs in the later rounds of the draft

There's not much trade value and probably only a few teams who would even be interested. I would imagine he'll be with the Saints this season and 50/50 (at best) next year.
His value to the team will likely be less than his salary next season whether it's a 5th year option or free agent deal.
There's just nothing special about him which would warrant paying him more than the other 100 free agent RBs with similar skills.
You could find a rookie who could produce the same results (or better) while keeping the payroll manageable for the position. It's no longer a position where you should invest a large percentage of your salary cap figure.
