Well if you actually watched, Ray Rice ran like his old self last pre season and he was actually injured the 1 bad year he had. You keep watching thougH.



Preseason?

He had 5 carries in preseason in 2 games.

He's a 28 year old running back with a lot of carries on him. He has media baggage that comes with it. I wouldn't take him over ingram. He may have been injured in 2013, but all running backs have to play through injuries.

He was PFF's worst rated running back in 2013

I'm not saying that he won't have 1 good year left in him, but I don't think he's a long term solution. Now if he wants to come in for $1 million/year or a prove it contract, I'm game. I just think there are better, younger runnings backs out there

Personally, I want Ingram back, just not at 6 million per. I dont think the value fits for the Saints. I would take Rice, because he would come deeply discounted, but he probably isn't a starting HB anymore. Im thinking about what Mike Bell was for us in '09. If Peterson becomes available, I think the Cowboys are all over him and will run his price tag up beyond his worth 2 or 3 years down the road.

I'm probably the biggest Mark Ingram homer on this site. I 100% want to resign him. Was just taking up for Ray a little. I wouldn't mind him for super cheap if Ingram left.
