Ingram is a two down back
That's complete bullshite.
Ingram is a very good blocking back (something Kamara has said he really needs to work on) and has 50, 46, and 58 receptions each of the last 3 years while averaging 380 yards per year in that span.
And let's not forget he averaged over 1,000 yards rushing 3 of the last 4 years (while still getting over 750 yards the other year in only 12 games, meaning he was on pace for another 1,000 yard year).
Ingram isn't the flashy back that can make the plays Kamara does in the passing game, but he can get you yards (averages 7.4 ypr over the last 3 years) and isn't a liability blocking for Brees.

I was just about to mention his pass blocking ability.
He is versatile as a pass protector, a receiver out of the backfield, and has averaged 5 yards a carry over the last two years.
It’s also worth mentioning that he could be the Saints all time leading rusher after this season, if he can have 731 yards in 12 games.
I think a lot of the reason Mark gets less credit than he deserves is because of the 3 year stretch of 7-9 seasons, when the team just seemed mediocre on many levels. He proved last year that he is a big part of this teams success.
With that said, if Kamara keeps improving, he’s going to have to become the feature back, with Ingram playing a smaller role. Ingram has always been solid, but Kamara just has the extra “all-pro” type edge.
I’d only want to pay Ingram as much as that role is worth. Plus he’s coming up on 30.
4 year 22 million or somewhere in that neighborhood would be my offer. If it starts getting into the 8 mil a year range, I’d be hesitant, but I do think it’s important to keep them together.
