If you're mad at either side in this situation then you don't understand football. Ingram has turned into a fan favorite as of late but was pretty underwhelming his first few seasons considering we traded up to get him in the first round. He's not an elite, irreplaceable player and his stock is high right now across the NFL and he needs to get as much cash as possible considering this is most likely the last contract he'll sign of any substance.
The Saints simply couldn't and frankly wouldn't pay what he'll get.
It'd be crazy and anyone who disagrees is simply arguing on emotional merit. Ingram needs to get his money and he just isnt worth as much to the Saints as he will be to someone else.

2 of the top 3 cap hits on the team are the ones publicly whining.

The other being one who's been tweeting about how much money he's about to cash in on.

There was no way we could afford 8 million a year. If that was the price to keep him then we absolutely did the right thing. That said, I don't doubt for a second that his loss will have an effect on the offense. I only hope that it's small and easy to overcome.

Ingram can get $4-$4.5 mill so that’s the market.

Both sides are doing right

Maybe if Brees would restructure and take less money the Saints would be able to keep a few players here and there.

Considering the price Murray, how can anyone bitch about the move? Murray is an upgrade imo.
